Happy New Year! CSCCE is now five years old as a STEM nonprofit, and as the year turns we’ve been reflecting internally about where we go next as an organization. At this month’s community call, we’d like to invite you to join the conversation!
On the call, Lou, Katie, and Camille will take a look back at some of the milestones we’ve celebrated so far, and then share some of the big projects that we’ll be focusing on in 2025. Throughout the call, there will be opportunities to share your feedback, and learn how you can participate in CSCCE community programming over the next 12 months.
We hope you’ll join us!

CSCCE “quarterly” updates
Over the last couple of years we’ve hosted periodic update calls to share more about what we are working on, highlight new opportunities for community members to participate in programming, and invite feedback from members about our focus areas and activities. While we’ve typically called these calls “quarterly updates,” in reality, they do not happen with quite such regularity! But they adhere to the spirit of the term, as they are recurring opportunities for new and existing community members and others interested in our work to stay connected.
On this month’s call, we’ll be talking about:
- Some of the new trainings we’ve been developing, including our new Project Management for Scientists Bootcamp, a re-boot of Nurturing Online Communities (NOC), and Mini-workshops coming up later this year.
- Birdaro, a CZI-funded project we’re working on to support leaders of scientific open source communities as they scale. This project includes additional opportunities to access CSCCE professional development trainings, and/or to partner with us as mentors, subject-matter experts, or community champions.
- How CSCCE collaborates and consults on a range of projects and the ways in which we can support your community building goals this year.
- The ways in which you can get involved in the CSCCE community of practice.
And more! Join us to share your feedback, ask any questions you have about what we do, and to connect with other community managers in STEM.

Our community calls generally last 90 minutes, but this month we’ll be keeping it to 60 minutes or less. We understand that virtual meetings have a tendency to overrun and overlap, so please don’t feel sheepish about arriving late or leaving early. We’d love to see you either way!
