If you're an educator in Georgia and on the fence about applying to the Georgia Education Policy Fellowship Program, you may be persuaded by what Henry County Schools principal, Micki Foster, had to say about her experience: https://lnkd.in/eeBUBAAq #InformingLeadersImprovingEducation

BERGER MONTAGUE NAMED AS... Litigators of the Week: $284M and Counting From Elite Universities Accused of Price-Fixing.    Our Litigators of the Week are Bob Gilbert of Gilbert Litigators & Counselors, Ted Normand of Freedman Normand Friedland, and Eric Cramer of Berger Montague who have been pursuing price-fixing claims against 17 elite universities accused of conspiring to limit financial aid awards and inflating tuition.    Last week U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Chicago gave preliminary approval to three more settlements—with Dartmouth agreeing to pay $33.75 million, Northwestern $43.5 million, and Vanderbilt $55 million. Those settlements raise the number of schools that have settled to 10 and the total amount of the settlements to $284 million. 

Fridays are for flashbacks about Laureates or HLF alumni. Today, the spotlight is on Geoffrey E. Hinton, who received the ACM A.M. Turing Award in 2018. “In philosophy, there’s no difference between something sounding really good and something being good – there’s no empirical test. In science, something can sound completely loopy (…) and yet it can turn out to be true.” Dive into more inspiring thoughts by listening to the shortcut about him: https://lnkd.in/eyFuGmkx

💫 Biblical Principles & Financial Stewardship: A Lesson in Faith and Finances 💫 Last week, a student and I sat down to unpack Business by the Book by Larry Burkett. They asked if I agreed with the author’s stance on investing and retirement planning. My response? Not entirely. Here’s why: As Christians, we’re promised riches and inheritance (Proverbs 13:22), but we’re also called to give generously (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). These two principles aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, they work hand-in-hand to glorify God through stewardship! This semester, we explored Business as a Mission and the Generosity of Giving. The heart of the message? Wise financial planning equips us to fulfill our call to give and serve. 💡 Did you know? The Roth IRA limit for 2024 is $7,000. That’s just $135 a week invested into S&P 500 index funds for 30 years. Here’s the math: 💰 You invest: $210,000 💸 You retire with: $1,300,000 (tax-free!). This is the power of compound interest—and faithful stewardship. What could God do through you if you planned today to be a millionaire for His kingdom tomorrow? 📖 “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” (Proverbs 21:20) I don’t know how I got here, but I love my job!❤️ I’ve attached a heartfelt video to inspire you to step boldly into financial stewardship.
