Dear USD, I hope this message finds you well! My name is Jacob Rocha, and I serve as a Program Ambassador at Black Tech Link, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing the economic development of Black communities through workforce solutions, technical training, and networking opportunities. I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity for your students. In Summer 2025, we will be launching the BIPOC Coastal Research Program (BCRP) <https://blacktechlink.org/home/new-bipoc-program-page/>—a hands-on research mentorship initiative designed for college students pursuing careers in marine biology, environmental science, geology, and oceanography. This program is tailored specifically to support BIPOC students as they explore and deepen their knowledge in these fields. Over the course of two months, students will engage in weekly interactive research activities co-developed with UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. These activities are designed to introduce field-specific tools and technologies, and connect students with professionals and researchers in their area of study. Program Highlights Include: - FREE Open Water PADI Certification - Exposure to new environmental field technologies - Networking with researchers and industry experts We are currently recruiting 10–15 students from local 2-year and 4-year institutions for our first cohort. I would like to request if you could share this opportunity with students at USD. This is a valuable stepping stone for those interested in life and environmental science careers. Please find attached the program flyer and a short shareable blurb below.
