Women of Vision

On 27 Febuary, I wrote a blog about Sun Labs' Susan Landau, Distinguished Engineer, winning the Anita Borg Institute 2008 Women of Vision Award in the Social Impact category. Sun has 58 executives, engineers, students, and interns attending tomorrow's WOV celebration event, with Sun CTO Greg Papadopoulos giving the welcome address! We are all very proud of Dr. Susan Landau.

But, I am also proud of Sun's Engineering community which made this celebration possible:

    • The women who applied for the award on Susan's behalf, put together the nomination package, including executive letters of recommendation from Sun's leadership, and nurtured it through the process.
    • The executives who put up the funding to cover Sun's Gold sponsorship of the event. (The fee was split three ways between Software, Operations, and the CTO/Sun Labs group.)
    • The Marketing staff who designed the program advertisement.
    • The University Relations staff who invited 20 students and interns to sit at Sun's tables at the event.

Among Sun's 58 attendees, we have students and interns from a dozen schools and universities, plus Sun staff from Labs, Systems, Legal, Operations, Human Resources, SunIT, Marketing, Microelectronics, and Sales. Everyone wants to celebrate!
