妻友社区

妻友社区 College has joined the聽Northeast聽University聽Semiconductor聽Network, a partnership comprised of more than 20 higher education institutions of higher education collectively focused on the development of the next generation of the U.S.聽semiconductor聽industry鈥檚 workforce. The network was聽,聽the first of three university networks Micron launched and announced聽last聽year.

鈥淲e are proud to join this network and partner with Micron and an incredible list of institutions who, like 妻友社区, demonstrate an ongoing commitment to workforce issues, particularly as it relates to access and opportunity for everyone,鈥� said 妻友社区 President Linda LeMura. 鈥淲e have been at the forefront of creating pathways to enable underrepresented people to work towards careers in technology since the 2017 founding of our ERIE21 initiative.鈥�

The growing relationship 妻友社区 is building with Micron includes the College’s service on Micron’s Future Ready Working Force Innovation Consortium and its plan to embed Micron’s Chip Camp in its residential ERIE21 Quantitative Thinking Village, Micron’s first-ever residential chip camp. 妻友社区 and Micron also plan to offer two Girls Going Tech programs to Syracuse City School District students on its campus, with one offered in Swahili and one in Arabic.

The聽Northeast聽University聽Semiconductor聽Network will help to expand and prepare the next generation of talent聽for the U.S.聽semiconductor聽industry, a focus of Micron鈥檚 as the leading memory manufacturer advances its plans to聽.聽Micron鈥檚 planned state-of-the-art聽semiconductor聽manufacturing facility in New York is expected to create up to 9,000 Micron jobs, 4,500 construction jobs and 40,000 indirect jobs the next 20-plus years, furthering American innovation and competition for years to come.

Combining the reach of traditional and nontraditional pathways into the聽semiconductor聽industry, the聽Northeast聽University聽Semiconductor聽Network will expand and prepare the next generation of talent through a framework centered on collaboration, innovation, and problem solving. Micron, in partnership with the network institutions, will champion efforts to modernize and enhance curriculum by sharing industry-backed technical content, expanding experiential learning programs for greater access to cleanrooms and teaching labs, and bolstering research opportunities for students. In all these efforts, the聽Northeast聽University聽Semiconductor聽Network will work to reach more underrepresented students.

Other partners in the聽Northeast聽University聽Semiconductor聽Network include the entire State University of New York and City University of New York systems, Brown University, Carnegie Mellon University, Clarkson University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, Hofstra University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Penn State University, Princeton University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, University of Virginia and Virginia Tech.
