Seneca College offers experiential learning opportunities for its marketing communications students. Last semester, one such opportunity involved developing a campaign for RBC Student Accounts. Maryam Amoui Kalareh was captain of the winning student team. The letter writer describes Maryam as a hard worker who listens carefully, seeks more responsibilities, and guides her team effectively to please clients. The letter recommends Maryam for positions requiring determination, collaboration, and results.
Over the last couple of months, many of the big US tech companies have been releasing their diversity reports. It’s reinforced a fact most people have known for a while: Tech is a white man’s game.
While many of the companies have a fairly high proportion of women in the workforce, few are in tech or leadership roles. Pinterest’s Tracy Chou recently gathered info on the number of female software engineers at various startups and big tech companies.
Women make up about 16% of engineers from 150 startups. The only company with more than 100 engineers and more than a 20% female workforce is ThoughtWorks. Dropbox, Mozilla and Yelp’s engineering workforces are only 8% women, Github’s is 6%.
But while gender and tech is an issue often brought up, ethnic diversity is also still a major issue. According to US census figures, the ethnic make-up of the country’s 317 million-odd people is around 16% Hispanic, 12% African America and 4.7% Asian. Look at the diversity reports of some of the US’ biggest tech firms however, and you’d get a very different picture.
Tech companies seem to have a disproportionate amount of Asian workers compared to Hispanic or African American workers. Most have fewer than 3% African American workers and 9% Hispanic, but 30% Asian – often within tech or leadership roles. Only Apple can say its company workforce is even close to the ethnic make-up of the country.
This isn’t to say companies should purposely go out of their way to hire Hispanic or African Americans over other ethnicities. Companies should hire the best people for the job irrelevant of other issues. But why there are so few people from certain communities when they make up a significant proportion of the population needs to be looked at.

In a world where many of our digital spaces are becoming more closed than ever, open data is a concept that is rapidly on the rise.
In this talk we explore what open data is (and what it isn't), and why we should care about it. We'll look at how you can introduce it into your projects with regards to practical publication and consumption, and discuss some useful tools and reference points.
Open data isn't just dry and technical - it gives us great scope to be creative, and throughout this talk we'll go through some of the amazing things that it has been used for globally in the hope that it will inspire you to create something amazing yourself.

To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
As
a
former
marketing
communications
practitioner,
I
am
a
big
fan
of
experiential
learning.
Last
semester,
one
of
the
accounts
for
which
my
students
competed
was
RBC
Student
Account.
The
Client
briefed
my
students
on
their
(real
world)
challenge
and
assigned
them
to
come
up
with
a
solution,
given
a
specified
budget.
They
worked
in
teams
of
four
and
the
Client
chose
the
best
campaign.
Maryam
Amoui
Kalareh
was
the
Captain
of
the
winning
team!
Maryam
walks
a
lot
more
than
she
talks.
She
listens
with
interest
and
makes
notes.
She
does
her
work
and
looks
for
more.
She
doesn’t
just
want
to
get
the
job
done;
she
wants
to
sweep
her
clients
of
their
feet.
To
that
end,
Maryam
shepherds
her
team
to
sell
with
their
ears.
When
you’re
looking
for
tenacity
without
ego,
teamwork
without
drama
and
results
without
ulcers,
Maryam
should
be
a
person
you
consider
seriously.
