Douglass Students Visit Google
Students from the Douglass Women in Science and Engineering program visited Google in New York City last month. Hosted by Rutgers alumni, this group of aspiring tech professionals gained insight into the life of a software engineer at a leading tech company. The day was filled with learning experiences, motivation, and meaningful conversations.
“It was such a joy to host a group of Douglass students in computer science at Google,” said Anna Godin, a Software Engineer at Google. “I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of this experience for the students, and to everyone who helped make it happen.”
During their visit to Google, students connected with professionals in the field and enjoyed a tour of the innovative Google campus. A panel discussion featuring women in STEM provided an opportunity to network with Rutgers alumnae who now work at Google.
“We shared our journeys—from navigating college to building careers in tech. The conversations were open, honest, and empowering, touching on what helped us thrive at Rutgers and what it means to grow and succeed as women engineers,” Godin said.
The ongoing support of mentors like Godin plays a crucial role in inspiring and launching the careers of Douglass students. We extend our gratitude to all our partners at companies throughout the region for hosting our students and supporting their ambitions.
