The positive energy is still flowing from STEM-UP Network‘s 5th Annual Women in STEM Leadership Summit! This was truly a community effort with many, many thanks to our incredible workshop facilitators Katie Sandoe who focused on communicating with warmth and power, Elisa Basnight who led us to think about the power of a growth mindset and adaptable thinking, Kellee Morales who strategized with us about becoming our best selves and Tina Nixon who spoke to the impacts of strengthening bonds with our STEM sister — all strategies for building resilience.
Thank you to our women in STEM panelists Allyson McCollum, Terri Bendl, Vini Singaravelu, Akeisha Belgrave, Stacy Pagan, Parul Luthra, Carrie Fischer and Stephanie Lake for your candor, courage and authenticity in sharing your perspectives, experiences, and advice with the rest of us!
And finally, a thank you to the STEM-UP team to include our moderators Sam Knisely, Stephanie Zegers, Sheri Collins and Dr. Oralia Garcia Dominic – you all set the tone and energy level throughout the day! Can’t wait to see what we come up with for next year!
