As the new year begins, we take a moment to celebrate our achievement and growth as a community and prepare for the year ahead. To that end, I want to introduce PIT-UN's new program manager,Brenda Perea. With her coordination and guidance, our growing network will continue to build and shape the field of PIT and increase its impact on those we serve both on and off our campuses.
Through the generosity and stewardship of our donors, we added six new 2021 Network Challenge
grantees to the fold. This group of now 37 grantees' projects affirm our commitment to seed and scale models that protect and nurture the most vulnerable in our communities.
As we contemplate and reflect on the progress we have made in just over three years, it's gratifying to look back at the key moments that defined our work together.
By supporting and nurturing students' desires to create impactful careers and labor, developing their institutions' capacity to work across disciplinary silos, and engaging their community through partnerships and collaborations, PIT-UN members offer compelling models of effective PIT in action. In its 4th year, the network seeks to institutionalize and scale PIT efforts that will anchor students, faculty, and community members working to build this new ecosystem.
Join us at the 2022 PIT-UN Convening hosted by The City University of New York
The convening will be held at two CUNY locations next Oct. 28 and 29 and draw educators, researchers and activists from across the country who are working to bring social and environmental justice, racial equity and community empowerment to the global tech world.
