In honor of Women’s History Month, Sinclair has orchestrated another video series highlighting the diverse group of women that are central to its operation. The videos can be found on the Sinclair Community College Facebook page.

Titled “Women of Sinclair,” the video series gives students and faculty a glimpse into some of the many women that make the “backbone” of Sinclair.

Some of the featured women have been Visual Communications Coordinator Michelle Wetzel, Assistant Payroll Manager Karan Bunch, Dr. Meng Lu, Manager of Admissions of the International Education Office, Enrollment Assistant Coordinator Sherita Jackson, Accounting Technician Tawan Jermkhuntod, Coordinator of the African American Male Initiative, De’Shawna Yamini, English Professor Rebecca Morean and Ciara Bunch, Enrollment Advisor.

Sinclair also featured 28 days of Black History videos throughout February with commentary from various professors. Each day, the Facebook page had a new spotlight or insight on an important element for history.

Each Monday, the Sinclair Facebook posts an episode of “Automotive Mondays” highlighting instructors and students within Sinclair’s Automotive Programs. Wednesday features “Biology’s Not Scary” with Dr. Sarah Finch, exploring concepts like osmosis.

“Science with Mike” is uploaded Fridays, featuring professor Mike Canestaro–who also is known to perform standup, as well as act. “Science with Mike” has explored concepts like atmospheric pressure, exothermic reactions and density, to name a few.

A new series, “Strengthen Your Cyber Defense” featuring CIS professor Eric Renegar and Chair of CIS, Kyle Jones. The subject of the first video was password safety.

Gaining thousands of views per video, the recent efforts on Sinclair’s social media have even drawn potential employers to comment on the content. One Dayton business advertised they were looking for students with the skills from these courses to fill positions.

Companies, alumni and the general Sinclair community are taking notice–students may find it worthwhile to plug in to Sinclair’s media.
