2025 in review: Ongoing support for human infrastructure in STEM and open source

2025 was another busy year for CSCCE as we continued our work supporting community managers in STEM, and expanded our collaboration with open-source projects. 

Threaded throughout our work is the idea that we can effect change on three levels: we can impact the careers of individual community managers by offering skills-based training and free resources; work with individual organizations to embed core practices and vocabulary through consultancy and training; and through this work, encourage ecosystem-wide recognition of the importance of community managers and related human infrastructure in STEM. 

In this blog post, we take a look at some of the highlights of the last 12 months, which touch on all three levels. But before we do that, a quick “by the numbers” summary of CSCCE’s year!
