The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in Queens is more than just a museum— it’s a place where dreams take shape and where young minds are empowered to explore, experiment and innovate. This year NYSCI celebrates 60 years of nurturing New York’s youth and has honored Boingo Wireless with its 2024 Vision and Venture Award for leadership in technology innovation and transformative connectivity solutions that inspire the next generation, and improve everyday life for New Yorkers and the tri-state region. “Boingo deeply appreciates NYSCI’s work in Queens and throughout all boroughs to prepare our young citizens by building their confidence and encouraging the pursuit of STEM careers. For 60 years, NYSCI has been committed to our youth—and a commitment to our youth is a commitment to New York’s future. It’s an honor for Boingo to be recognized for the important role we play in connecting this great city, helping it become smarter, greener and safer.” – Boingo CEO Mike Finley

Love this, and knowing Jeri, I'll bet she learned at least 3-4 things that will improve Cengage's offerings. Here at Pragmatic Institute, when we train product managers for other companies, we focus extensively on what we call NIHITO (Nothing Important Happens In The Office). Its a borderline mandate that product managers get out into the market and listen directly to customers for met and unmet needs. That a Chief People Officer is practicing NIHITO speaks to Cengage's customer focus. Way to go!

CCAC offers a course called "History of Pittsburgh," which examines the city's role in the Colonial frontier, the Industrial Revolution, and urban development. Students will explore key events and figures that shaped Pittsburgh's lasting impact. Learn more at: https://bit.ly/3AQNJJE

Super fun time speaking with current marketing students at University of Portland - including a few students I’ve previously had in class! Hopefully my hot takes weren’t too hot ?? Some highlights: - Don’t blanket add people on LinkedIn; invest in relationships with contacts you make like you would anyone else! - Your grades don’t matter as much as your ability to demonstrate responsibility and follow through (which more often than not ends up being reflected in your grades anyways). - Leverage college as an opportunity to learn how to think critically and connect with folks who hold different perspectives and experiences than you. Empathy and wisdom will take your career higher and farther than solely focusing on being a high performer by yourself. We need to be able to serve alongside others!
