Alvaro Rojas-Caamano
Senior Manager, Recruitment & Partnerships
Alvaro Rojas-Caamano is the Senior Manager of Recruitment & Partnerships at AI4ALL.
Alvaro develops and implements AI4ALL’s recruitment partnership strategy employing a DEIB lens to attract and engage AI4ALL’s audiences. The responsibility includes the execution of recruitment partnership goals, new partnership development, nurturing existing relationships with higher education institutions, and defining how partnership engagement evolves over time.
In addition, Alvaro plans the strategy and oversees the process of admissions and recruitment for AI4ALL programs with the goal of enrolling a high number of students that are considered to be historically excluded from the AI industry.
Prior to joining AI4ALL, Alvaro has worked in higher education since 2003 in numerous roles including positions in student affairs, education program development & implementation, partnerships, international education and event management. In his last role, Alvaro worked at Columbia University’s engineering school, where he oversaw the student engagement programming for over 2,000 graduate students – from their onboarding to graduation.
Alvaro believes that cultivating a more inclusive space in AI will become increasingly important as the industry and its technology evolve. He hopes to contribute to facilitating a more empathic dialogue between industry leaders and the greater community of how new and emerging technologies can impact at-risk populations.
Alvaro is interested in connecting and cultivating relationships with individuals employed at organizations serving college students or potential professionals employed at academic institutions about how to promote AI4ALL’s no-cost and life changing programs to undergraduate students.
