September Newsletter
As we welcome the changing season, we’re also looking ahead to new opportunities, fresh ideas, and meaningful work on the horizon. Fall brings a natural sense of renewal and reflection, and it’s a great time to pause, celebrate what we’ve accomplished, and look forward to what’s next, like STEM-UP Network's upcoming NextGen Women in STEM events.
We’re grateful for the continued support and partnership of our community and excited to share what’s happening across our organization in the months ahead.
Warm regards,
- Nathan Flood
President & CEO, KINBER
KINBER at the Impact Forum
KINBER was proud to join Penn State’s Impact Forum last week, bringing our expertise and perspective to conversations about the future of connectivity and technology in Pennsylvania. Our KeystoneREN team contributed to both a panel discussion and a breakout session, sharing insights and connecting with leaders across the Commonwealth, and KINBER President and CEO Nathan Flood joined a panel on “Trust in the Future: Building the Talent Pipeline for What’s Next".
We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of these important conversations and to help shape what’s next for Pennsylvania’s connected future.
Expanding Access Through Partnership
We’re excited to announce the opening of the AI Readiness Hub powered by KINBER at the Readiness Institute at Penn State. This new space expands access to technology, connectivity, and AI-focused learning resources, creating opportunities for individuals to build skills and prepare for an increasingly connected, technology-driven world.
