Distributed to our current interns on 7/8/20
Based on discussions with you and our team members, we are implementing some important changes to our internship program moving forward:
- Adding a virtual class on diversity and inclusion for incoming interns presented by Sodexo’s corporate Diversity and Inclusion team.
- Designating a diversity scholarship beginning with the 2021 internship class.
- Revising our chat schedule to include topics related to diversity, including but not limited to cultural humility, implicit bias, health at every size, and social determinants of health.
- Ensuring that monthly chats provide a safe space for you to share your concerns, ideas and thoughts.
- Increasing our outreach to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Again, know that we are always available to listen and discuss. We are all in this together.
