Celebrate S.T.E.M., Secure Your Computer and More November Dates of Note

8 is National S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. Day, celebrating the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics — all of which are heavily relied upon by the sign industry.

14To continue days of awareness, World Diabetes Day is NOVEMBER 14, a good day to get screened for diabetes, a disease affecting over 537 million adults internationally in 2021, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

21 Hopefully, not too bad for the diet, NOVEMBER 21 marks National Gingerbread Cookie Day. A great way to start the holiday season, consider a friendly competition or decorating gingerbread “blanks” at the office or shop.

30 Protect your cyber flank on NOVEMBER 30 Computer Security Day. Change your passwords, update your system settings, back up your critical data and more. Then make a note to do this more than once a year!
