Biography
Tori Bowser is a graduate student services coordinator in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Silicon Valley.
Bowser is passionate about making higher education and STEM as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. As a first-generation college student and a resident of Silicon Valley, she has firsthand experience with the importance of — and barriers to — fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the tech sector specifically, and in higher education in general. As such, Bowser advises Khoury master’s students (including Aligners); hosts cultural, educational, social, and DEIAB-related student events; and strives to support and celebrate students of different backgrounds.
In the past, Bowser explored this passion for inclusivity through a variety of student support roles at San Jose and California State universities, and with the City Year and AmeriCorps programs. She is also pursuing a master’s degree in organizational performance and workplace learning from Boise State University.
In her free time, Bowser loves to explore outdoor markets and festivals, watch documentaries, and bake.
