Since that time, one candidate has withdrawn from the search.

In the spring of 2015, Victoria Scarborough, program director of the External Technology Global Resource Team for Fortune 500 Company Sherwin Williams, expressed interest in sponsoring an event at 5X社区 that could capture some of the creativity that she had witnessed as a judge at the Fashion/Tech Hackathon.

Honorees will be celebrated at the 鈥淢others, Mentors and Muses鈥 Women鈥檚 Center鈥檚 annual scholarship fundraiser on Tuesday, March 8. The keynote speaker is 5X社区 President Emerita Carol Cartwright, Ph.D.
5X社区 is one of more than 200 universities and colleges across the country that signed the American Campuses Act on Climate Pledge to show support for strong climate action.
