FEATURED NEWS ITEMAvis Yates Rivers PresentationOn Thursday, October 11, we were honored to have Avis Yates Rivers be our first presenter for our Internet2 Inclusivity Initiative webinar series. To watch her presentation, you may visit the following link, Avis Yates Rivers, the challenges in attracting and retaining a diverse workplace.
