OFFICE OF CAREER OPPORTUNITY AND SUPPORT
THE OPPORTUNITIES BULLETIN March, 2025 Dear Mount Sinai Community, Happy Women’s History Month! Our rebranded Office remains committed to leveraging Mount Sinai’s strengths, expertise and optimism to build community and address and bolster policies and programs related to recruitment, retention, promotion, leadership development and family support. As part of this, we continue to celebrate the incredible impact of women who have shaped history and continue to drive progress today. Please stay tuned for our monthly Opportunity Blasts about resources, grants, awards and more! And please sign up for WiSM (Wisdom in Science and Medicine), highlighting promising people, practice and stories nationwide, and share stories you would would like us to amplify. This month we reflect on the 2025 Women’s History Month theme of “Moving Forward Together.” Women have long been at the forefront of innovation in science and medicine, leaving lasting legacies that inspire future generations. We take this month to uplift how their dedication, leadership, and contributions have transformed lives, and look to them for motivation on how to tackle challenges come next. Christa Kuljian, author of the book Our Sciences, Ourselves: How Gender, Race, and Social Movements Shaped the Study of Science, joined us to to remember a world when the ideas of women in science and medicine were not heard and to celebrate advances since then. In her book, she reminds us of the importance of having a scientific workforce that represents all of us, and the impact this has on people’s lives. Please join our field trip to the Museum of the City of New York for a guided tour of : Changing the Face of Democracy – Shirley Chisholm at 100. Chisholm was a trailblazer and an advocate who reminded people, “If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” We are proud to say, in our office, everyone will always have a seat at our table. We have leaders like Chisholm to thank for reminding us of the importance of showing up with our ideas and making them heard. As always, we invite you to reflect on the people who have inspired you and those who continue to shape our future. In this issue of Career Opportunity and Support Quarterly, you’ll find ways to get involved. Our programming is dedicated to amplifying diverse voices and fostering a culture where everyone can flourish. Your insights and ideas are invaluable to us, and we welcome your feedback as we continue this important work together! Sincerely, Office of Career Opportunity and Support team ISMMS Office of Career Opportunity and Support
