Grange School Lagos’ Post

Excited to be part of this panel discussion! Resiliency is something we have to routinely design for and how to best evaluate the increased frequency in storm surge, sea level rise, and appearance all need to be evaluated! Join me October 23rd to discuss!

Day 14 of a #sharednarrative for #Plymouth: We all have agency to play a critical role. We know, fundamentally, what it takes for us all to be motivated and nourished- both individually and collectively - through our personal experiences; science; ancient wisdom, such as: * Relationships with each other and with nature * Mastery of craft * Autonomy of exploration, in an interdependent web * Purpose of something beyond ourselves If we can unlock these conditions at a wider scale, there is huge potential to unlock mass agency towards the scale of the transformations we need. We can all play a role through (for example): * how we relate to others * how we stay realistic about the context and commit to keep caring * how we nurture the environment we are part of * how we explore and understand challenges together * how we show integrity in our actions Full Plymouth Octopus(POP) narrative: https://buff.ly/4dQZbD1 POP learning and thinking: https://buff.ly/4fZAcPG Dark Matter Labs @Annette https://buff.ly/3YSF4Ac Sky Space Team Development Cic @Jen https://buff.ly/3yMsPK #BEMOREPLYMOUTH #fairer #greener #futurism #regenerativefutures #learning #sharednarrative #plymouth #systemconvening #community #grassroots #funding #grantmaking

A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of witnessing and photographing a tradition at Westminster School called "The Lawn Ceremony". Essentially, the 12th graders invite the 11th graders to join them in a special area of campus exclusive to the graduating class. It's an honor to be personally led onto the lawn. It's part of the school's culture. And, often, it's an emotional moment for all. In the first five years of photographing this annual event, I didn't understand the reason for tears. They looked like happy tears, but I wasn't sure. This year, the head of the school, Elaine White, spoke succinctly at one of the closing ceremonies about the importance of community. And then it all made sense. From the first day of school to the last, schools such as Westminster have a broader mission than just education. They want to give their students a taste of what's possible in the "real world" – that connection, cooperation, collaboration, and community are all achievable. The happy tears, I think, are evidence that despite the trials and tribulations of the past three years, they too can experience that same sense of togetherness as their older peers. It's perhaps also a reminder that they have just one more year to go before graduating from high school. If you are a part of a team, what traditions bring you together with your colleagues, and what is your mission? Drop a comment below.

When we got serious about making Hoffmann Brothers University a reality, we had two big questions: Where would it be? Who would run it? Our vision for HBU as a training facility that capable of scaling with our company required a physical place. HBU started as a program housed in our main office, but it needed space to grow. Not long after, we heard that the early childhood learning center next door was moving. The building would be available. We knew that turning a daycare center into a state-of-the-art training facility for the home services industry would post some challenges, but the timing and location were perfect. We purchased the building and have spent the last year renovating it. This photo is an architectural rendering drawn up before the renovation. As for the who part of the equation, we knew that delivering on the promise of HBU would require the guidance of a true expert in education. So before we even had a building, Lorna McClellan joined our team in Nov of 2021. Prior to joining Hoffmann Brothers, Lorna had spent 15 years with Teach for America. She also has a deep understanding of adult educational design (more on that in a future post). Getting clear on where HBU would live and who would lead it were huge steps toward realizing the vision. It's been exciting to see the space coming together. --------------- This is my second post of a series about Hoffmann Brothers University. I'll be posting regular updates about HBU over the coming weeks as we prepare for the grand opening. If you have a specific question you'd like me to address, comment here or message me and I'll do my best to answer.

Beyond the Blue and Gold: The Marquette Effect That Keeps Giving Today, a familiar sight greeted me – the limited-edition "Give Marquette Day" socks, a vibrant splash of blue and gold in my mailbox. Let's be honest, these socks are fantastic (who can resist a little Marquette University swag?). But as I held them, a deeper reflection took hold – a reflection on why giving back to my alma mater goes far beyond a cool pair of socks. My journey with Marquette, especially the Marquette University Center for Real Estate, has been nothing short of transformative. It wasn't just about acquiring knowledge; it was about honing a skillset that continues to propel me forward in my career. The Center equipped me with the tools and confidence to navigate the intricacies of the real estate world, setting me up for success that I'm eternally grateful for. But my gratitude extends beyond my own experience. Marquette University is more than just an institution that grants degrees; it's a vibrant community that fosters growth, ignites passion, and leaves an indelible mark. The late-night study sessions fueled by camaraderie, the professors who pushed me to think critically, and the experiences that instilled a sense of purpose – these are the things that truly shaped who I am today. By giving back, I'm not just expressing that gratitude; I'm investing in the future of that very community. It's about ensuring current and future students have access to the same enriching experiences, the same exceptional faculty guidance, and the same unparalleled skill development that the Center for Real Estate provides. The future of the program is even brighter than its past, and I want to be a part of nurturing that potential. So, while the "Give Marquette Day" socks are a delightful reminder of my Marquette pride, they represent something far more significant – the power of giving back to the communities that have shaped us and the ripple effect it creates for generations to come. #GiveMarquetteDay #MarquetteStrong #CommunityImpact #realestateleaders Andrew Hunt Layne Collins Tim Hanley
