To make the beauty and grandeur of nature accessible to everyone, Bartram's Garden teamed up with a local audio describer and visually impaired accessibility consultant to produce audio descriptions of three gardens on their grounds. Join White Canes Connect contributor Simon Bonenfant, as he speaks with audio describer Beth Feldman Brant, along with Accessibility Coach Charmaine Parrish, about everything you need to know as part of this exciting initiative! Recorded audio descriptions include a Know Before you Go, detailing an introduction and orientation to the Welcome Center, Ann Bartram Carr Garden, the Historic Bartram House, and the Common Flower Garden. You can access the recordings here. https://www.bartramsgarden.org/audio-descriptions/ The audio descriptions will be debuted at the upcoming Bartram's Garden Spring Fest on Saturday, April 19. The fest runs from 10:00 to 2:00 PM, with the audio description portion from 12:30 to 1:30. Here is a description of what to expect.  “As part of Bartram's Garden's SpringFest event, join Beth Feldman Brandt and Charmaine Parrish for a guided walking tour featuring their new audio descriptions of select areas of the Garden, including the Ann Bartram Carr Garden, the Historic Bartram House, and the Common Flower Garden.  After we tour together using the recorded descriptions, you are invited to share refreshments and community, and to give feedback on the experience.  Friends and family are also welcome!  Note that while this tour is designed for safe navigation by people with visual impairments, exploring other areas of the Gardens is best done with a sighted companion. Registration is encouraged but not required. Register at https://www.bartramsgarden.org/event/audio-description-tour/.  Light refreshments will be served. In the event of inclement weather, this tour will be rescheduled for Saturday, May 10 at 10 AM. These audio descriptions were provided by Beth Feldman Brandt and Charmaine Parrish as part of the Sowing Excellence Awards, a collaboration of the IDEA Center for Public Gardens and the U.S. Botanic Garden. We are also grateful for the expertise of  Sarah Pharaon as well as staff members Mandy Katz and Emily Constantino in supporting the creation of these audio descriptions.” Those wishing to utilize the service should prepare to bring their mobile device and, if preferred, headphones for the best listening experience. After the 19th, anyone is welcome to come to the specified gardens and listen to the audio descriptions whenever the gardens are open!

This week on Cultivating Place, guest host Abra Lee is in conversation with a horticultural leader with big IDEAs. Mae Lin Plummer is the Director of the IDEA Center for Public Gardens in Denver Colorado. Mae Lin's journey into gardening started in her backyard in Charlotte, NC where she simply wanted "a pretty place to throw parties." That blossomed into a full-on plant obsession and a major career shift—from banking to horticulture. Mae Lin's passion is connecting people to the natural world through gardens. Her story is filled with joy, life lessons, and a deep love for how gardens can transform lives. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

In episode 109 of White Canes Connect, co-hosts David Goldstein and Lisa Bryant engage in an enlightening conversation with Simone Cooper, founder of the Blind Social Club, and Katie Sampson, an advisor for the Sowing Excellence Awards. Simone shares her journey from starting the International Cuisine Club for the Blind and Visually Impaired in 2017 to changing the name to a more-fitting Blind Social Club, which has since evolved into a vibrant community initiative aimed at fostering social connections among blind and visually impaired individuals. Simone discusses the inspiration behind the club, which began as a simple desire to explore diverse cuisines and quickly grew into a broader social platform. The club now hosts various activities, including dining experiences and sensory-based outings, such as an upcoming visit to an apple orchard and winery. Katie highlights the significance of the Sowing Excellence Award, which Simone recently won. This award, backed by the U.S. Botanic Gardens and the IDEA Center for Public Gardens, recognizes plant-centered projects that engage underserved communities. Katie emphasizes the importance of connecting people through nature and the potential for such initiatives to create lasting impacts.

Dr. Mitchell and Courtney Gallaher invite three Currey Ingram students to discuss our exciting and upcoming IDEA Center. Grounded in the principles of Ingenuity, Design, Exploration, and Application, the IDEA Center represents an exciting opportunity for all our students. Listen to our students share the invaluable benefits of experiential learning.   

  In this transformative era for higher education, institutions are at a crossroads, balancing traditional academic rigor with the urgent need for graduates who are immediately employable and adept at upskilling to meet rapidly changing business demands. Miami Dade College (MDC), under the visionary leadership of President Madeline Pumariega, stands out as a beacon of innovation and adaptability. In this podcast, Pumariega offers a compelling model for aligning curriculum with industry needs, embracing technological advancements, and fostering strategic partnerships to secure students' success in the workforce. Madeline Pumariega leads Miami Dade College with profound insights rooted in her 20+ years of experience in higher education and dedication to uplifting low-SES communities and first-generation students through accessible, quality education.    Key Points Overview Strategic Alignment with Industry Needs: How MDC excels in forming alliances with business partners to directly link education with emerging job opportunities. These collaborations ensure that programs are tailored to the skill sets demanded by key sectors, enhancing graduates' employability. Comprehensive Skill Development: The college champions a holistic approach to education that encompasses academic knowledge, employability skills (including internships and apprenticeships), and digital competencies. These three pillars prepare students to be resilient and adaptable in a future-driven job market. Leading the Way in AI Programs: MDC has proactively embraced AI by integrating it into its curriculum and, in 2023, launching programs specifically designed around AI, including a college-credit Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, an Associates in Science in Artificial Intelligence, and the first Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence approved in the state of Florida. The AI program at MDC saw over 400 students enroll, with the average age being 44. Focus on Workforce Readiness: Through specialized programs and certificates, such as those in cloud computing and healthcare, MDC aligns its offerings with the precise needs of local and national employers, ensuring students are ready to contribute meaningfully to their fields upon graduation. Accessibility and Community Engagement: Initiatives like the Idea Center and partnerships with entities like Amazon Web Services, IBM, and the Mark Cuban Foundation demonstrate MDC's commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and small business growth within the community, further enhancing students' real-world learning and job prospects.   Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Presidents and Boards Emphasize Industry Partnerships: Strengthen collaboration with industry leaders to ensure educational programs meet current workforce demands. This engagement fosters alignment between graduates' skills and employers' needs, enhancing employability and opening doors for students to make meaningful contributions in their respective fields. Align Budgets with Strategic Priorities: Clearly define your institution's strategic priorities and ensure that budget allocations reflect these values. Whether focusing on reimagining student success, academic excellence, or innovation, financial resources must support these aims, driving impactful outcomes and institutional growth. Cultivate a Culture of Care: Recognize and nurture your human capital—faculty, staff, and leadership—as their well-being directly influences the student experience and success. A culture that values and supports its members can transform an institution, making it a place where students and staff alike feel valued, engaged, and motivated to achieve excellence.   Final Thoughts MDC's proactive approach to education, characterized by its responsiveness to workforce trends, technological innovation, and commitment to accessibility, serves as a powerful model for institutions aiming to prepare students for rapid employability and workforce demands. Under Madeline Pumariega's leadership, MDC exemplifies how colleges can lead the way in bridging the gap between education and employment, ensuring a brighter future for students and communities alike.   Read the transcript on our website →     About Our Podcast Guest Madeline Pumariega is the first female president appointed to lead one of the nation's largest educational institutions, Miami Dade College (MDC). Adding to the historic nature of this appointment is the fact that Pumariega is an alumna of MDC. Prior to becoming MDC's president, Pumariega was appointed the first female and Hispanic chancellor of the Florida College System (FCS). In that role, she designed and implemented strategies to keep college accessible and affordable for Floridians, especially for those entering high-demand job fields. In 2019, Pumariega became the executive vice president and provost of Tallahassee Community College.  In her current role as President, Pumariega has prioritized working with business partners to identify the skills needed by key industries and tailoring higher education programs to match those needs. This intentional forming of strategic alliances and job pathways between companies and MDC students accelerates each graduate's ability to enter the workforce immediately. Driving her relentless pursuit is the passion to develop leaders and build thriving communities.

Roughly ten years ago, I skipped investing in Axon Enterprise (AXON) and missed an opportunity to hold a stock that has since grown by more than 10X. But good investors don't repeat the same mistakes twice! Axon is a great company, but even greater is the Police & Public Safety Technology industry. It is growing by ~30% per year, and it is just getting started. Today I'm glad to officially the Stock Card community to the world's 1st ever Police and Public Safety Index, created by Economist Michael Hardiman.

Join the Enabled Disabled Community: https://www.enabledchat.com Universal Design: How "Inclusive Architecture" Benefits Businesses & People Michael Kimmelman, the architecture critic of The New York Times, wrote that the planning and designing of public and commercial spaces for accessibility and diversity shouldn't be seen as a requirement, but instead, as an opportunity, both economic and creative. And he also emphasized that such a vision required a shift in mindset: Universal Design (UD). With one in four American adults living with a disability, it's hard to believe that only a handful of organizations and institutions have truly embraced the benefits of Universal Design, but for some reason, it is still largely misunderstood and rarely applied. Did you know that universally designed spaces don't cost significantly more, are just as aesthetically pleasing, and lead to healthier, more inclusive, and productive environments for more people? This program will change forever–and for the better–the way you look at commercial buildings, public spaces, and bathrooms. Join Gustavo Serafini, host of the Enabled Disabled Podcast, and his guests, Jonathan White, Director of Design Consulting at the IDEA Center in SUNY Buffalo, and Julie Sawchuk, Accessibility Consultant, in a dynamic dialog about the big and small benefits that businesses–and the people in them–derive from UD. In this conversation you will discover: The main goals businesses usually have when designing their commercial spaces How YOUR experience changes, and what you can expect, as a user of universally designed public or commercial spaces What your future house, office building, school, library, government agencies, and shopping centers will look like when they are universally designed And so much more! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/support

Ben Hoggan's team at the Notre Dame's IDEA Center has mentored close to 200 startups and would-be startups  from concept to revenue over the last four years. The best way, he said, to know if a company will be successful is by talking with its customers and potential customers. And after more than 6,000 customer interviews on behalf of those startups, he should know. "It is very selfish to invest in customer research," said Hoggan, the Director of De-Risking at The IDEA Center. "You're saving yourself time. You're saving yourself money." Standing for Innovation, De-Risking, and Enterprise Acceleration, the IDEA Center works with faculty, student, community, and alumni entrepreneurs on their commercially viable, early-stage product ideas and innovations. The IDEA Center's story is one of many shared in User Tested and that are being featured in Season 4 of the Human Insights Podcast.

My guest today is Eric Mazur, professor of physics and applied physics at Harvard University. He is also a creator and entrepreneur in the area of technological resources for classroom teaching. He is known for his research in ultrafast optics and condensed matter physics, and also for his extensive work in the teaching methodology known as Peer Instruction. Attending one of his lectures on teaching as a graduate student was one of the formative experiences of my professional life. He is a true pioneer in active learning in science and engineering education, and was practicing and espousing the benefits of “flipped classrooms” long before the word came into common usage.

Get your copy here! https://www.amazon.com/dp/194833433X?ref=exp_gcouros_dp_vv_d This episode starts off with a conversation about being problem finders and problem solvers. Stacey Wood shares what she is doing in her high school entrepreneurship class and how that connects with the book, The Innovator's Mindset. Wood goes into detail about what her students are doing in her class' Idea Center and how they work to be social entrepreneurs and create new products that resolve existing problems. Couros also goes into detail about how to use his 5 Questions to Ask Students at the Start of the Year resource. This closing question is one that Couros is consistently asked, especially by high school teachers: Couros asks Wood, as a high school teacher, when you have students who come into your classroom and are conditioned to have that mentality of “just give me the test,” how do we un-condition our students from that mentality? Wood shares some great advice in response to this question that has helped her as she works to create opportunities for students to show their learning.

In this sixth episode of the series #BoldFail, we meet Jessica Dennis, the Operations and Student Experience Manager at the ESTEEM Graduate Program at the University of Notre Dame. Jessica gives more information on ESTEEM, which is Notre Dame's master of science degree program at the University of Notre Dame. Here, graduate students are equipped with the skills needed to launch new businesses, become innovators within large corporations, and be leaders of dynamic, innovative teams. We also hear from Renee Yaseen, an undergraduate at Notre Dame as she shares her start-up company FriendOver and her experiences working with the IDEA Center.   #BoldFail is a celebration of strategic failure. No profitable startup or entrepreneur goes from success to success. All experience multiple challenges and failures along the way. Failure by itself is neutral, neither good or bad. The question is: what did we learn from it? Failure in operations and failure that results from complexity can be prevented with proper processes, oversight, and care. But failure that comes from pushing beyond boundaries is a commendable, necessary step because it breaks new ground on the path to discovery. #BoldFail is a celebration of the mindset that sees the future, seizes opportunity and embraces failure as a routine step toward success, a chance to persevere or pivot rather than quit. 

This fourth podcast in the series focuses on IDEA Center employee Ben Hoggan and his position within the center. Ben is currently running the IDEA Center's Problem Validation team that uses primary research to validate customer pains in the market before any investment is made in a potential company.  Problem Validation is the first stage that technologies passing the risk assessment process at the University advance to for de-risking and consideration for the potential to launch a new startup. #BoldFail is also a celebration of strategic failure. No successful startup or entrepreneur goes from success to success. All experience multiple challenges and failures along the way. Failure by itself is neutral, neither good nor bad.

This third podcast in the series focuses on Roy Stillwell and his start-up company Nearwave. Roy was a past McCloskey New Venture Competition winner and gives great insight into his time and experience working with the IDEA Center and winning the competition as well as how his company has advanced and grown since then. #BoldFail is also a celebration of strategic failure. No successful startup or entrepreneur goes from success to success. All experience multiple challenges and failures along the way. Failure by itself is neutral, neither good nor bad.

This first podcast in the series serves as an introduction to the IDEA Center at the University of Notre Dame which is an innovation hub dedicated to expanding the technological and societal impact of entrepreneur's and their innovations. #BoldFail is also a celebration of strategic failure.

As part of the 10-year anniversary celebration of the IDEA Center in the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, I sat down with its current and former Directors, Profs. Olivia Graeve and Carlos Coimbra. We discussed the founding of the center, its role in creating a culture of inclusion, and advice for individuals wishing to create something similar at their institutions. I have the distinct honor of taking over as Director in July of 2021, and thus really enjoyed this discussion! You can learn more about the IDEA Center here: https://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/idea/

In this episode, our host Sebastian sits down with Suzanne Jewell, The Mindful Entrepreneur, to explore the 4th Pillar of your start-up. As every start-up requires an MVP, Proof of Concept and a strategic plan on how to reach the ROI for investors, few leaders look at themselves as the 4th Pillar of their business plan. Top leadership schools from Stanford to Yale are training graduates on the practices of mindful attention training. Microsoft's CEO has said that in five years or less, the #1 skill for leaders, as well as employees, will be the ability to focus the most valuable asset they have; their attention. The #1 most downloaded content during these times on LinkedIn has been about mindfulness, resilience and stress reduction. From Babson College to The Idea Center at Miami Dade, Suzanne trains leaders on the tools and techniques that help calm the mind to master the overwhelm. Learning things like the Anti-anxiety breath and The Smile Practice actually regulate your nervous system. The neuroscience from Harvard shows that 47% of the time leaders, and everyone, are awake, our minds are wandering. A wandering mind is an unhappy mind, yet you can learn to manage stress better and train your brain to navigate the challenges and keep your cool. Here are the topics addressed and timestamps: 1:20 Introduction and Understanding Mindfulness 19:30 Breathing Practice and Pause, Breathe, Smile 28:00 Suzanne Jewell's background 33:18 How and why mindfulness is useful for entrepreneurs 37:57 Guided Meditation 46:45 Understanding Resilience 51:04 Q&A 56:09 Leadership in the Future Be sure to share this episode with your friends and family!!

Maxwell “Crear o morir”, por Andrés Oppenheimer   Quotes del invitado: Los latinos tenemos una mentalidad de resolver problemas. Una de las desventajas de los latinos es que somos muy relajados y tomamos las cosas muy a la ligera. El cambio se debe generar siempre en nosotros mismos. Cuando se tiene un equipo, es importante que cada una de las personas sepa cuál es la misión y visión de la empresa. A pesar de los retos, siempre hay que tener la mejor actitud. Yo soy enemigo del multitasking. Si no haces las cosas, otra persona lo va a hacer; o nadie lo va a hacer. Los miedos son naturales, pero uno tiene que afrontarlos.   TRANSCRIPCIÓN DE LA ENTREVISTA:   -INTRO-  JULIO MUÑIZ (Host): ¡Hola! Bienvenidos a Inconfundiblemente Latino, soy Julio Muñiz. Hoy estoy platicando con Gustavo Grande. Reconocido consultor en Marketing y desarrollo de negocios, Gustavo tiene una amplia experiencia en los campos de importación y exportación. Desde y para Latinoamérica. Ha impactado de manera directa a más de mil emprendedores a través de sus talleres y eventos de networking. Asumió el cargo de Programan Manager del Idea Center en el Miami Dade College, donde es responsable de promover el trabajo de emprendedores latinos en Estados Unidos. Gustavo, muchas gracias por estar con nosotros. Esto del emprendurismo está de moda, pero cuando te preguntan a qué te dedicas; ¿cómo lo explicas de la manera más sencilla?   GUSTAVO GRANDE: Ayudo a los emprendedores a trasladar una visión a la vida real.   JM: Para todos aquellos que quieren hacerlo, pero no saben por dónde empezar; ¿qué les dirías?   GG: En primer lugar, a hacer Networking. Salir a los eventos de tecnología y emprendimiento. Entender en qué consiste el emprender, pero las metodologías. Business Canvas, Design Thinking, entre otras. Son muy distintas a cómo se hace negocio de manera tradicional.   JM: ¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de tu trabajo?   GG: Innovación. La innovación, para mí; lo tomé como concepto del libro de Andrés Oppenheimer "Crear o morir". Trabajo en equipo, comunicación y pensamiento crítico. Esa sería la base de todos los que buscamos emprender. No podemos hacer las cosas solo. Comunicación no sólo en como transmites el mensaje, sino como te comunicas con los miembros del equipo. Pensamiento crítico en cuanto a retarte en cómo estás haciendo las cosas.   JM: ¿Hay algo que no te guste?   GG: Es algo con lo que constantemente estoy trabajando. Como ser un poco más empático con los emprendedores con los cuales trabajo. Como asesor, tengo que darles feedback y la forma en que lo manejo, a veces no la entienden. Trato siempre de retarlos. Cuando tengan un compromiso con algún proveedor, no va a ser nice con ellos. Yo trato de replicar ese ambiente. En ocasiones no lo reciben de una forma positiva, por lo tanto, creen que hay un tema personal hasta que se dan cuenta que la discusión que traíamos, los ayudaba a ser mejores. Ese reto es cómo comunicar mi mensaje de una forma que los demás lo entienden. Es para hacerlos mejores y para el beneficio de su idea. Lo que he logrado hacer es manejar ese mensaje desde un principio para que entiendan que yo voy a deconstruir una idea para construirlo de una manera más sólida.   GG: Es muy difícil encontrar la vocación y no siempre pasa a la primera. Lo que hacemos en Inconfundiblemente Latino es celebrar las historias de éxito de los latinos en Estados Unidos. Queremos compartir sus experiencias y las herramientas que los han ayudado a conseguir el éxito. Queremos inspirar a...
