One initiative run by the school is an annual social development competition. One event challenged students to find solutions for hunger around the world, capturing the attention of President Clinton. “This idea that these young students are thinking through a social problem like this. And then they’ll go through an incubation period,” Chamberlain said. “Once they win at that campus, and they present their winning idea … and the winning team gets a million dollars to carry their idea forward.” Chamberlain is also committed to helping more women become active partners in the tech industry. “I think we show the path to men and women so that they work together in a collaborative way,” she explained. “I think most of my mentees would say that they like the idea that it’s not just women that I work with, that it’s men also. And therefore we get both perspectives.” @theCUBE @Capgemini #Capgemini @Dell EMC @Dell #EMC @SiliconANGLE theCUBE #theCUBE @theCUBE #EMCworld #EMCWORLD
