A delightful way to enjoy our quarterly free days, unwinding and recharging #nvidialife #bleedgreen #goodlife

I am deeply honored to receive the Distinguished Alumnus Award from IIT Bombay—an institution that has shaped my journey in more ways than I can count. A heartfelt thank you to IIT Bombay, its exceptional professors, brilliant student community, and the unique culture that set me on the path to success. Grateful for the friendships, lessons, and experiences that continue to inspire me to this day.

Jennifer Griffin reacted on thisJennifer Griffin reacted on thisI began my career at Facebook in 2011 as a University Recruiter on a 12-month contract. Back then, as a contractor, I played it safe. I avoided rocking the boat or offering honest feedback about my role. But everything changed in 2012 when I transitioned to a full-time employee (FTE). My boss at the time asked me a simple question, “What do you like, and what do you loathe about your role?” I took a deep breath and decided to be honest. I told them I felt like a sellout. As a Latina recruiter at one of the most sought-after companies at that time, I wasn’t doing enough to attract people like me – women and people of color. I was proud to work for Facebook, but I couldn’t ignore the fact that we needed to do more to engage underrepresented and marginalized communities. Back then, Facebook’s culture was scrappy and bold. We had posters plastered across campus that read, “Nothing at Facebook is somebody else’s problem.” My boss’s response mirrored that mindset: “So Denise, what are you going to do about it?” It wasn’t the response I was expecting, but it was exactly the one I needed. It reminded me of the endless possibilities available when bureaucracy takes a backseat to doing what’s right. That conversation lit a fire in me. It took time (and I had a baby along the way), but in 2013, Facebook University (FBU) was born (no pun intended). FBU was an eight-week diversity focused training program designed to create opportunities for students historically underrepresented in tech. We started small, with just 30 students, but over the years, we welcomed over a thousand. FBU embodied equity – giving people the resources and support they needed to succeed. It was a chance to lift as I climbed and to pave the way for others who may have never seen a path into tech. Recently, Meta announced the end of all DEI programs, including FBU (now Meta University). This summer, after an incredible 12-year run, Meta University will welcome its final class. I’ve spent weeks coming to terms with this decision, grappling with the emotions of seeing something so deeply meaningful come to an end. But what gives me peace is knowing what can never be taken away. FBU was transformative. It opened the doors for students who may have doubted their worth or ability to thrive in tech. It proved that equity is the foundation of true opportunity. To the students who participated in FBU over the years, you gave far more to Meta and to me than could ever be reciprocated. Your updates – about your careers, your families, your lives – have inspired me and kept me grounded in my purpose. To the recruiters, managers, mentors, and countless others who supported FBU, thank you for making it all possible. Together, we created something extraordinary. While DEI and FBU may no longer have a place at Meta, it will always have a place in me. Ensuring equal access to opportunity isn’t tied to a job title or a corporate decision. – it’s part of who I am. And that will never change.

Jennifer Griffin liked thisJennifer Griffin liked thisToday is the last day of an amazing five years for me at NVIDIA, and thirty three years in tech. I hoped going in that NVIDIA would be my last employer, Jensen my last boss. I'm lucky that it has in fact turned out that way. On this day my dominant sentiment is appreciation for all of the great people I had the privilege to work with, lead, and learn from along the way. Thank you to all of you. If anyone needs me, I'll be on the golf course. 😊

Jennifer Griffin liked thisJennifer Griffin liked thisGreat day today at Oregon State University. First up the groundbreaking ceremory for the Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex. Next was the Global Futures Forum where we were visited by Digit. Next was a great session about #AI and #Climate. Then I got to be on a panel about how AI is impacting the economy and workforce. Also ran into some food delivery robot that roam all over the OSU campus. Could say so much but I’ll just say stay tuned for what comes next.
