I grew up in Greensboro where A&T is located. Many of my high school classmates went to college there. One friend even led the top CS student org on campus.
I pushed so hard for my employer, Sexy Unicorn Startup which said all the important things you expect a woke company to say, to recruit there. I told them I would set everything up and that all I needed was a budget. I got nothing but lip service.
So, HN, you want to do it the right way? I can be on A&T's campus in 15 minutes. I will connect you with the student orgs and help you do it the right way. You won't regret it. Email is in profile.

(Asians, as we all know, don't count.) If you try but can't hire minorities, nothing particularly bad happens as long as you have tokens somewhere in a visible role. If you try but can't hire leftists, because your signalling is insufficiently woke, you have a problem.
