Tuesday, July 28th, 2020
Women in Technology (WIT) announced the WIT Girls and WIT Campus Scholarship Winners at its Virtual WIT Connect Gala, presented by State Farm, last night, Thursday, July 23rd.
Since its inception, WIT Connect has gathered nearly 800 of Atlanta’s top executives to raise more than $3.2 million to support the development of young girls and the advancement of women in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM). WIT Connect is one of the premier fundraising and networking events of the year. In addition to our highly anticipated executive auction, it is also an evening where we focus on the mission of WIT. At this event, we highlight our WIT Girls and WIT Campus young women along with the impact WIT programs have had on their advancement in STEAM, which includes scholarship awards presented by top Atlanta corporate companies like WIT Sponsor ADP, who provided scholarships to three of our winners.
“At ADP, we are committed to investing in programs that foster diversity, equity and inclusion at work and beyond. Our guiding values fuel our focus to keep people and their unique talents at the center of all we do. With that in mind, we are proud to support programs that empower women in technology and their contributions to innovations of the past, present and future.” said Aisha Thomas-Petit, Chief Diversity, Inclusion & Corporate Social Responsibility Officer
