Duke Jumpstart is hiring for the Spring 2024 semester! Duke Jumpstart is part of a national early education organization, and we pair college students in Pre-K classrooms in Durham. Students provide a tailored curriculum and programming in classrooms while reducing the student-to-teacher ratio in classrooms and enabling children to receive a more individualized learning experience.

They offer paid federal work-study, paid Duke work-study, and paid non-work study (limited) jobs as well as volunteer opportunities. They require a minimum commitment of 8 hours per week with opportunities for more hours per week and leadership growth. Students will work in collaborative teams with other students in Pre-K classrooms in Durham at least twice a week in 2 hour shifts, attend weekly team meetings, and complete classroom trainings. Students who are willing to work 300 hours over the academic school year are also eligible to be AmeriCorp members and receive a Segal Education Award in addition to being paid hourly.

They are looking for enthusiastic students who want to support the educational journey of young children in Durham. All majors and backgrounds are appreciated!

DataBytes: Supporting AI Risk Management in the Analytics Lifecycle | April 30 at 3:30 PM ET

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released an AI Risk Management Framework for trustworthy and responsible use of AI and analytics. NIST offers a portfolio of measurements, standards, and legal metrology to provide recommendations that ensure traceability, enable quality assurance, and harmonize documentary standards and regulatory practices. Their framework is very detailed with recommendations across four functions: govern, map, measure, and manage. 

 

Join Sophia Rowland, a Senior Product Manager focusing on ModelOps and MLOps at SAS, walks us through incorporating these recommendations into the analytics lifecycle. Attendees to this session will gain a greater understanding of trustworthy AI best practices as well as user roles and expectations for building responsible analytics. Registrants will receive a link to the recording following the event.
