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!
