Message From Leadership
Morgan Zantua, Executive Director
This week I received a communication from a student recounting his experience with the Data Science Club. Jerome commented:
“One of the key things that stood out to me was how diverse the student population is. I LOVE THIS! Diversity allows people to come together with different views and opinions, so that we all can learn and grow.” For the past twenty years, I have worked with adult learners, non-traditional students, veterans, and underrepresented populations. I agree with Mr. Spearman, who is also a veteran, everyone, faculty, and students alike, learn, grow, and come to see the world from different perspectives.
Since coming to CityU in 2020, I have seen the value placed on providing opportunities for adult learners, with a strong emphasis on providing opportunities for people seeking to grow, learn, and improve their lives for the better. Earlier this month, Seattle Times featured CityU’s spotlight on increasing the number of women in technology. Read Heeding the call for women in technology. Share the article with your friends, women, and men alike. Invest the time to listen to Monique Morrow’s keynote.
