Who You Wit?

Win in STEM

Who you wit? *Lil Jon voice* Who’s in your network? Have you heard the saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”? It’s never too early or too late to invest in your network. Expanding your community can open doors to new opportunities for business, career advancement, and personal growth.

In this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Cimone Wright-Hamor. Cimone is a first-generation college graduate with a bachelor's, master's, and is on track to be the first African American woman to obtain a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Iowa State University. Can you say Black Girl Magic!!! She has spent the last decade working at various organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft Inc. and startups such as Smart-Ag, to state government and national laboratories. Cimone is the founder of Hey Cimone!, an organization whose mission is to help students navigate the decisions of college. She has developed a set of fundamental resources and principles to help students mindfully navigate their degree programs and employment opportunities.

Tune in as Cimone discusses the importance of networking, effective ways to build your community, and her personal experiences with networking. You don’t want to miss it!! Tell a friend to tell a friend!
