Partnerships with a purpose.
Spotlight is creating a more equitable future by building student-industry mentor partnerships that will work together to develop solutions for societal and industry blindspots.
Our Story.
Spotlight was created by STEAM students from diverse backgrounds who recognized the need for industry mentors and career networking in this virtual era.
Solving A Social Issue
Through Spotlight, we want to:
- Uplift unheard student voices by giving them equal access to mentor resources
- Create a community dedicated to shining a light on societal, personal and industry blindspots.
Our Values.
- Empowerment - partner together to develop and pitch a solution to address the blindspots you discover
- Awareness - Learn how industry ‘blindspots’ have originated and the systems that maintain and propagate them.
- Advocacy - Mentors will leverage their experiences and connections to provide sponsorship for their students
- Inclusion - A diverse range of participants will be included in order to amplify the marginalized voices of students without prior access to mentorship resources
- Community - The entire cohort will connect with each other to foster a sense of belonging
