Google embeds engineers as professors
Howard University freshman Alanna Walton knew something was different about the professor teaching her introduction to computer science course.
First, there was her name: Professor Sabrina. She was an African American woman, kept office hours until 2 a.m. if that’s what it took to see everyone, and had an additional title: Google In Residence.
"It was an awesome class," said Alanna who has already chosen her major at the Washington D.C.-based university: computer science.
