For People Like Me

Growth and Education Resources

Hello all,

This week I'm posting a few groups of links to resources for our continued growth and education. If you're anything like me (and I know I am...laugh with me!) most of us didn't learn enough Black History, Native American History, Women's History, White American History, or even overall world history as we were getting our educations. There just wasn't enough time or emphasis. That's why lifelong learning is so important!

We can learn now from websites like the ones listed here for Black History Month, and by participating in conferences with our colleagues, and by sharing our stories.

Celebrating Black History Month:

Gearing up for late spring/summer SUNY Conferences:

Send in your stories to the SUNY WIT MythBusters series:

As a reminder, these are the myths we will be busting in 2025:

  • Myth #1: Women are not interested in or passionate about technology
  • Myth #2: Tech careers are only for individuals with strong mathematical or technical skills
  • Myth #3: Tech is a male-dominated field and not welcoming to women
  • Myth #4: Women cannot balance family and personal life with a career in tech

You can email your stories to me or submit them to this online Google form.

I know that there are a lot of myth-busting SUNY folks out there!

All the best,
Holly
