"We all have a responsibility as individuals and as a community to be forces for positive change when it comes to diversity and inclusion," said Ana Hunsinger, VP of community engagement at Internet2. "Congratulations to all of our award recipients and fellows, and a special thank you to our members who are also supporting the meaningful participation of underrepresented groups in the information technology field from both the national and global research and education communities."

Both the award and fellowship cover travel expenses, hotel accommodation, and conference registration for the 2018 Global Summit. Funding for this year's inclusivity award is made possible by Cisco, DLT Solutions, Duo Security, Internet2, Microsoft, and Oracle Dyn.

"The NSRC group is delighted with the awesome results of the joint fellowship program with Internet2 over the years. It's enriching for both the sponsored fellows and for the attendees of the Internet2 Global Summit to learn from each other and develop new working relationships," said Steven Huter, director of the NSRC.
