We are a close-knit community of Black and Latinx students in Tech, elevating each other as we start our careers within the tech industry.
We help each other out with problems/questions, share positive feedback, support one another’s concerns over campus academic challenges, and network through both offline and online initiatives.
Within our Slack, you will find:
Career advice from peers and upperclassmen
Community moderators who make sure the Code of Conduct is being enforced
Opportunities (jobs, scholarships, events, etc)
Member highlights
Mentorship
Community-wide updates from ColorStack
Specific channels that cater to you
And much, much more!
This is very important for removing clutter in channels and creating a tolerable experience.
If you are responding to a message, remember that each new message will trigger a notification in the channel. With a community of over 500 students, this can become annoying very quickly.
Instead, hover over the message to the “start a thread” icon. This will begin a thread under the message you are replying to for further discussion. Only folks that are on the thread already will receive any additional notifications, instead of the entire channel. If you don’t remember anything from these guidelines, remember this!
