Voices Of

ColorStack

Opening Doors

"ColorStack@OSU has truly opened doors for me. Through the connections I made within the community, I was able to secure my upcoming Software Development Engineering internship with GoDaddy and even landed an interview with Warner Bros., all because of the support and network ColorStack provides. It's not just a space for underrepresented students in tech; it's a launchpad for real opportunities and a reminder that we deserve to take up space in this field. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of such an empowering and uplifting community."

It has also provided access to career development opportunities and direct conversations with recruiters, which helped me secure my job after college. Being part of ColorStack has not only helped me grow professionally but also connected me with amazing people who are passionate about making a difference."

Underdog to Big Tech

"I arrived at OSU from an under-resourced high school lacking tech preparation. Through ColorStack's workshops and events, I gained the confidence and technical skills to compete for and secure a prestigious internship at GoDaddy. ColorStack bridged the gap between my background and my potential."
