What a treat it has been to see such interest from Cisco employees who want to get involved in STEM mentoring. Cisco has a culture of giving back that is embedded in all levels of the company and we have always encouraged our employees to volunteer in their communities.

In this fiscal year alone with another full quarter to go, 10,956 employees globally have volunteered an impressive 102,353 hours! We started measuring STEM-specific mentoring and volunteering in August as a part of our endorsement of US2020, and already we see 10,000+ hours of STEM mentoring in the US alone; 650+ employees are investing their intellectual and social capital in the next generation of scientists, engineers, and tech workers.
