Managers from the U.S. recently made a trip to our Mumbai office for a “Collaboration Week” finale to round out the year. From project assessments and career planning to technical training sessions, we laid the groundwork for an incredible, integrated year ahead. But it wasn't all business—our Mumbai office’s Employee Club organized fun activities to strengthen team bonds and foster relationships across departments and disciplines. After hours, our visiting team immersed themselves in Mumbai's rich culture, exploring iconic landmarks and savoring local delights. #SSOEindia #chooseSSOE
Sending out an SOS! Colleagues from our Nashville office spread holiday cheer by purchasing and wrapping gifts for A Soldier's Child earlier this month. A Soldier's Child Foundation provides support, scholarships, and special events for children of fallen soldiers. This year, the nonprofit celebrated its sixth annual “Season of Sacrifice” Christmas program, or SOS, an initiative to provide love, honor, and hope during the holiday season. #SSOEcares #SSOEsoutheast

A Dinger in December! Our Columbia team celebrated the end of the year holidays with a relaxing evening under the lights of the local ballpark.

Last month, we joined our friends at The University of Toledo College of Engineering for a STEM experience day. Over a hundred students in grades fifth through eighth from Toledo Public Schools' gifted and talented program were introduced to principles of geometry, physics, and engineering through fun activities like the popsicle-stick catapult, design a playground challenge, and building a bridge out of straws. We love actively engaging students at the pre-college level to expose them to STEM careers—building the workforce of tomorrow. #SSOEcares
So All May Eat! Project Accounting Coordinator Heather Fricke uses her lunch break every weekday to volunteer at the SAME Café—a nonprofit restaurant that creates community through healthy food access. It sits inside the Toledo Lucas County Main Library across the street from our world headquarters and offers a meal in exchange for donations, fresh produce, or volunteer time. After learning more about Heather’s passion for the lunch spot and its participatory model, CEO Vince DiPofi decided he would trade in his suit jacket for a hair net and join her. SSOE will also sponsor a “meal for a day” for an entire year as part of our long-held commitment to community and in honor of our 75 years in Toledo. #SSOEcares #SSOEcelebrates75
