October is National Arts & Humanities Month

In October, we recognized National Arts & Humanities Month, highlighting how creative effort yields an empowered self, presents one's background and culture, and asks us to think about how our creative interests intersect with our professional identities.

Arts for All

You learned that IST is rich in the arts if you saw our posts on Facebook throughout the month. Featuring submissions from dancers, artists, musicians, and performers, many IST employees credit their participation in the Arts to their collaboration, communication, and analytical thinking skills. This is HUGE for many reasons:


  • The Company with Passion is a product of individuals possessing collaborative qualities. Our ability to work together and operate as one powerhouse strengthens our vision. It creates a positive community where everyone sees the benefit. Individuals who thrive in this setting thrive here.
  • Innovative Solutions! Creative problem-solving builds innovative thinking, allowing us to develop agile services for current and future industries.
  • Empowered People! Learning more about IST employees' interests reveals their strengths, background, and values. It allows a moment to celebrate each moving part of our team.


Thank you to all who shared what participating in Arts & Humanities means to them! Check out their stories in the video below and be inspired.
