Cleveland Heights Mayor Kahlil Seren posted a 15-minute video on social media Wednesday, denying that his wife made antisemitic remarks in text messages and conversation. Residents angrily confronted him at Monday night's City Council meeting, demanding his resignation. He has been under fire since March, when former Akron Mayor resigned as city administrator just three months into his tenure, saying the job was untenable because of a relative of the mayor. Questions about the actions of the mayor's wife, Natalie McDaniel, have persisted. The council will hold a special committee meeting later Friday in which they'll discuss the mayor's comments. We will discuss the mayor's response and what led to it to begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” We will also talk about some of the other top stories of the week including, the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County cutting ties this week with the Greater Cleveland Partnership.

In Silicon Heartland: Transforming the Midwest From Rust Belt to Tech Belt, she traces the region's tumultuous history, from its heyday as a stronghold of solid, factory jobs that created comfortable middle-class lives for its residents, to its struggles with globalization that saw those same factory jobs sent overseas, leaving residents out of work.

InternCLE Episode 055 - Cleveland State University's Career Services - Executive Director Jessica ColombiJessica and I met through the Greater Cleveland Partnership's (GCP) Internship roundtables. Her openness throughout the current pandemic about the struggles of serving students remotely showed me her passion for her job. Today we discussed the purpose. Over her 7 years at Cleveland State Jessica has formed her thoughts on how to best service students and employers, ending up as the Director of Career Services. We discuss the misnomer that the name of her department implies and what changes she sees are necessary to add value for students, employers and faculty. Her creative use of tag lines like "Internships are like broccoli (they're good for you)!" show a commitment to rebranding the image of Career services. Jessica's passionate and creative approach enhances Cleveland Sate's ability to weather the storms of student engagement, pandemics and rising unemployment rates. Student "walk in Wednesdays" went virtual during the pandemic and every Thursday students can dive deep into a professional development topic co-hosted by Career Services and an employer in the region. Employers have many ways to engage with students to "Hire a Vike" and connect to talent for their internship program. CSU even recognized employers may need resources to run their internships and have created an internship toolkit. Jessica stressed the important of AND/BOTH thinking. The concept of not tradeoffs but how do you add more to service more is serving her students and employers well. When asked to provide advice for students Jessica simply shared "Be yourself" and "Practice, Practice, Practice" . Knowing your story is such great advice because truly, you are the only you. Practice your story, practice working, use school projects as practice.

They are focusing on increasing their diversity in hiring and go to national conferences for this initiative: National Black MBA Association & Prospanica.Interns tend to work in the research department – economics, finance, IT.
