Finding His ‘Field of Dreams’ | Soundings Magazine

There’s a popular meme splattered all over the internet these days: “EAT. SLEEP. SPORTS. REPEAT.” Those words pretty much sum up Mark Lepage’s childhood growing up in Avon, Conn., too. Playing and watching sports took centerstage, and the real-life superheroes he looked up to were all players from the Red Sox, Celtics, and the Patriots.

Mendoza Business Magazine - How To Be A Mentor

In Homer’s “The Odyssey,” when Odysseus embarks on his voyage home to Ithaca following the Trojan War, he entrusts his son, Telemachus, into the care of his trusted friend whose name is Mentor. The famous character serves as a guide to the young man and helps him hone his values, character and aspirations. Today, in the business world and beyond, mentors can continue to fulfill this same worthwhile quest.

At age eleven, Lu Adami, MFA ‘25, first took free quilting lessons at a local public library in Chicagoland and has continued working in the craft ever since. Although Adami was formally trained in figurative painting as an undergraduate at Brown, quilting is now at the heart of their practice.  Traditionally, quiltmaking takes place around a circle, and Adami has come to view the inclusive act as representing the things they value most: community, care, and respect.

Learning by Doing

In the 20 years that Len Charney taught at the BAC and served as Dean of Practice, he never once came to class and lectured. "You ask questions and then you wait for the lightbulbs to go off in students' minds," he said of his teaching philosophy. "What you teach should always be based on what students want to learn."

The Dream Machine

See how Hofstra is helping aspiring entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality. “Entrepreneurship isn’t something I set out to do,” Mike Seiman admitted. “It’s something I fell into. There were no academic resources for studying it at the time. I just started doing stuff and making money, and then I kept building, selling parts of it off, and growing it.”

Professor Problem-Solver: Teaching Creative & Efficient Software Solutions

In his life and work, John Stratton has always liked being fast. Fast at piecing together logic puzzles as a kid in small-town Virginia. Fast with the fry baskets in his first job at the local McDonald’s. And a builder of fast things—from rockets to computer software—in high school and college.

Bridging philosophy and AI to explore computing ethics

During a meeting of class 6.C40/24.C40 (Ethics of Computing), Professor Armando Solar-Lezama poses the same impossible question to his students that he often asks himself in the research he leads with the Computer Assisted Programming Group at MIT: "How do we make sure that a machine does what we want, and only what we want?"

"I've been trying to make my work less about me," Vivian Tran, BFA + BS '25, said from her SMFA studio, gesturing towards a sculpture in progress of an empty doll-sized bed.  "The bed says what I'm trying to get across just as well as if I put a body inside it."  By removing the sleeper, she is giving viewers the space to tuck themselves into the sculpture's story instead.

Is This the New Playbook for Curing Rare Childhood Diseases? | MIT Sloan

“There is no treatment available for your son. We can’t do anything to help him.” When Fernando Goldsztein, SF ’03, heard those words, something inside him snapped.“I refused to accept what the doctors were saying. I transformed my fear into my greatest strength and started fighting.”Goldsztein’s 12-year-old son Frederico was diagnosed with relapsing medulloblastoma, a life-threatening pediatric brain tumor. His life—and career plan—changed in an instant. He had to learn to become a different kind of leader altogether.

Doubled over with pain freshman year, Grace Kolis ’24 M’25 found recovery and a calling in Endicott’s gym. Then, she turned it into a business. While many of her classmates worked for DoorDash or in the library to make ends meet, Kolis took the ultimate Gen Z approach and paid her way through school by growing her social media audience.

Breaking Barriers in Sports Media | Soundings Magazine

When Rachel Pearson ’08 logged onto Zoom from her computer in Los Angeles, she’d just returned home from working as lead video editor for ESPN at the 2024 NCAA Women’s Final Four in Cleveland, Ohio. Pulling 17-hour shifts in the basement of the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse—home of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers—editing footage as quickly as possible wasn’t glamorous courtside work. Yet the job resonated with every cell of Pearson’s identity as a human, athlete, a member of the media, and a queer woman.

Finding the Right Recipe - Notre Dame Business Mendoza College of Business

As an undergraduate student majoring in IT Management, Cam Kormylo (BBA ‘19) spent plenty of time asking for advice in professors’ offices on the third floor of the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business. Now, in his first semester as assistant professor of IT, Analytics, and Operations at Mendoza, his office is down the same hallway. Kormylo teaches Auditing AI at 8 a.m., which is painfully early for his students but midday for a dad whose two young kids wake him up before dawn....

Making the case for less e-waste - MIT Schwarzman College of Computing

As part of the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) at the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, students from different parts of MIT came together to write a case study about the environmental and climate justice implications of the electronics hardware life cycle. Although it’s not uncommon for graduate students to co-author case studies, it’s unusual for undergraduates to earn this opportunity — and for their audience to be other undergraduates around the world.
