Ryan Jobson: There are definitely students who've never really had access to a STEM education or have been exposed to different topics in STEM. We're partnering with Kids in Tech to offer STEM workshops to underprivileged kids. And I think part of that is what we're doing with STEM outreach, which is inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. Richard Preston: MITRE's vision is pioneering for a better future. And so I read that article and that was part of what motivated me to do what I did. Another contracted COVID, had beaten it, and now was donating blood plasma. One was a fellow who had flown, in his personal airplane, supplies across country.
I had viewed an article on the MII about three individuals who had done special things during the pandemic. In our case, we gave them to the Cobb/Douglas Department of Health here in Northwest Metro Atlanta, who immediately put them to good use at local hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Matt Fronzak: My wife and I purchased 500 face shields made by a young man in New Orleans so that he in turn would donate 500 more face shields to the New Orleans healthcare givers. I can't think of an organization that cares more about its people and giving back. I just feel fortunate that MITRE kind of helps encourage that. We just felt, we got to go out there, broom in hand, figure something out. We could actually see fires from our house. Meghan Miller (sitting with Scott Miller): We live in a community where there was looting following some protests against police brutality. I want to make sure that this stigma is erased and that people get help. This work is important to me because I've have and had mental and emotional illness within my own family.

And other major initiative is our Social Justice Fund. And the purpose of it was really to help out with the livelihood of African Americans, not only in San Antonio, but across the rest of the nation.
I think it's working together as a collective that we're able to have the greatest impact.īlount: I'm chair of an organization called the San Antonio Area African-American Community Fund. You know, I got to do that 24/7 to try to help out as much as possible. It just gets to you and you say, I gotta do more. Natasha Koermer: I think it's so challenging to read the news and just think about all of the injustices in the world.īobby Blount: You hear some of the stories and you really learn what people are up against.
