Winds of Change magazine introduced their first annual list of the “Top 50 Best STEM Workplaces” for Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The list celebrates companies that support diversity in the workplace and especially for Native American STEM professionals. Companies included in the Winds of Change list of the “Top 50 Best STEM Workplaces” meet certain criteria established solely by the Winds of Change editorial staff. Selected companies completed surveys designed to demonstrate their overall diversity recruitment efforts and/or were included within the past year in at least one published list from two different sources that recognize top firms dedicated to diversity recruiting. In addition, selected companies must also be actively recruiting for occupations within STEM fields and have specifically recruited Native American and Alaska Natives within the past two years. GE came in 18th.

It is with great pleasure that GE and Picture That present “Vivid Reflections: Nostalgic Renderings” in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The pieces featured in this exhibition creatively interweave the beautifully graphic heritage of both Eastern and Western art. All of the artists in the show took the traditional training of their home country and applied it to new contexts, ideas, and mediums. Using sumi-e watercolor, imperial court silhouettes, and spiritual calligraphy in their mixed media works, all of the artists manage to create richly nostalgic testaments to their past in China, Hong Kong, and India. “Vivid Reflections: Nostalgic Renderings” will be on display through June 21, 2013. The Asian Pacific American Heritage Exhibition is jointly produced by the GE Art Program and Picture That, LLC.
