Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), and the Micron Foundation have announced more than $1 million in grants to support diversity in the colleges of engineering at Boise State University and the University of Idaho. The grants will support targeted programs that expand equitable access to education, diversify enrollment and prepare all students — especially students from underrepresented groups and rural areas — for engineering careers. Micron, a maker of computer data storage based in Boise, ID, has a relationship with universities in Idaho and an ongoing commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion. "The growing data economy — fueled by AI and 5G across the cloud, intelligent edge and devices — promises many opportunities for our people to make advancements in memory and storage, and Micron believes that cultivating a diverse pipeline of talent is critical to jump-starting the next wave of innovation," said Micron Technology Chief People Officer and Micron Foundation President April Arnzen.
