Ep. 11: Building More Equitable Student Hiring Practices

Student workers, interns and ambassadors are often the face and voice of your institution, but does your program reflect your student population? Are you unconsciously creating barriers to recruiting a diverse pool of students to serve in these roles? In this episode, Jaime talks with Anice Barbosa, director of digital marketing at Wheaton College about how she overhauled her student ambassador program to create more opportunities for greater diversity in the students selected to participate. 

In this honest and candid conversation, you’ll hear more about:

• Why it is important to have authentic content on your social media channels that better reflects the experiences of your student body
• Why even the most well-meaning marketers can unconsciously exclude marginalized and under-represented students
• How certain hiring practices create barriers to participation
• How to connect your work with institutional diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging goals
• How to measure the success of your efforts
