Lindsey Pollak : The Remix: How to Lead and Succeed in the Multigenerational Workplace

On May 3, 2019, ten teams of CUNY students competed for prizes in the final round of the 2019 CUNY IBM Watson Social Impact Challenge. The mission of this competition is to provide CUNY students with the opportunity to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to solve problems facing NYC’s public sector. The students developed and utilized essential skills such as critical thinking, communication skills and technological literacy to help solve concrete policy challenges. Stan Altman, PhD, Professor at Baruch College’s Marxe School of Public and International Affairs and Stan Litow, former President of the IBM Foundation and its Citizenship Program, conceived this idea four years ago. With support from IBM, the Donald and Shelley Rubin Foundation, Baruch College and CUNY, over 1,000 students have participated in these competitions. This year, 210 students from 19 of CUNY’s 25 campuses joined the challenge, demonstrating the demand for experience-based learning opportunities to solve real world problems, using 21st century technology such as IBM’s Watson technology. The 11 students on the top three winning teams this year developed tools to reduce suicide rates among veterans, ease student attrition at CUNY and help New York City Transit improve the efficiency of its maintenance systems.

This event was moderated by Mona Jha, Chief Diversity Officer of Baruch College. The 2019 Women’s History Month highlighted ACLU attorney Gillian Thomas for a discussion of her book, Because of Sex: One Law, Ten Cases, and Fifty Years That Changed American Women’s Lives at Work, which chronicles the Supreme Court’s landmark sex discrimination cases, and of what that history can teach us about the fight to achieve gender justice on the job. The topic for the day’s presentation is entitled “Sex Discrimination at Work: Then and Now.”    

Sex Discrimination at Work: Then and Now

Several pressing ethical questions are involved in the asylum process, such as: What happens when applicants have no documentary evidence of the persecution they face? How should asylum adjudicators respond when they have a concern about the credibility of the applicant’s narrative? Mr. Taubes will share with students his experiences grappling with these questions, and his insights will help inform students who will be working in the class to build a public facing multi-media website of resources for asylum seekers entering the United States.
