Last year, when State Farm's HR&D Technology Director, Todd Ferguson, stepped on our stage, he didn't just present an award. He told the room what it meant to host the 2025 WIT Girls Job Shadow Week (now known as WIT Girls Career Exploration Week):
"Watching these impressive young ladies explore our technology teams, ask thoughtful questions, and imagine their own futures in tech reminded all of us exactly why supporting these young women matters."
Then he called up the 2025 WIT Girl of the Year, Dyuthi Gurijala, and handed her a $5,000 scholarship to help build that future.
That's what an Awards Spotlight Partner makes possible: a company standing in front of this community and saying, out loud, this is who we're investing in, and then watching the room celebrate her right alongside them.
We're proud to welcome State Farm back as a 2026 WIT Awards Spotlight Partner, marking ten years of showing up for women and girls in tech.
A few partnership opportunities are still available for 2026. Reach out to [email protected] to learn how your company can be part of a night like this.
