We can't begin to tell you how great these Boston area high school students are! The Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School ENT150 Becoming Entrepreneurial class is almost over 😥 We'll miss these students. But for the next two days, they will be hard at work on the final pitches and prototypes for their new business ideas. Can't wait to see the final versions. In the meantime, check out how stylin' they are 😎 #entrepreneurshiprocks #startups #newbusiness #BPS #LaPadrona #improv Madison Johnson, Aphisara Patanakarun <-- The best TA/GA's!

We have a lot of ways to get students out of their seats...like for this impromptu #networking event between our ENT150 Becoming Entrepreneurial high school students and Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School alumni and staff! Students had to fill out their #bingo cards and meet someone from their hometown, a faculty member, an alum, etc. to win prizes. The halls were filled with laughter and discussions 😁 Many thanks to Michelle Goldberg and Morgan Brittney Austin from the Suffolk University Center for Career Equity, Development & Success for facilitating this fun activity.

The Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School ENT150 Becoming Entrepreneurial high school students had a chance to visit one of #Boston's newest restaurants, La Padrona at Raffles Hotels & Resorts! They talked with owner Eric Papachristos about what it's like to be a restauranteur and got a behind-the-scenes tour. Did we mention that this place is gorgeous?!! #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurlife #founder Chaim letwin, Shari L.S. Worthington, PhD, Alison Ford, CFRE

Hats off to the Fetch team of machine learning experts, #Incredibles, Emily Panasowich, and the Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School Professors Hasan Arslan, Shari L.S. Worthington, PhD, and Chaim letwin for their hard work putting together a state-of-the-art program on how to understand and productively use #AI. The AI program was delivered to our summer high school #entrepreneurship course and the students dove in! They used various AI tools to write song verses, create song tunes (the tools don't do hip-hop particularly well :-), prompt for product ideas, and develop never-seen-before images. AI is here to stay. We believe students need to learn now how to best use these tools!

You never know what's going to happen in the Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School ENT150 Becoming Entrepreneurial course for rising high school seniors and juniors! 😁 Stephen Donovan and Jared Littlejohn from Improv Asylum brought their #improv skills to class and challenged the students to do more thinking on their feet. We even got our guest speaker, Prof Alexandros Charalambides involved 😆 These are fun activities for building collaboration, creativity, innovation, and presentation skills. Thank you, Steve and Jared. Great work by all!

Jayson. Jaylen. Jrue. Even Rammy. They were all present on a warm Friday morning in June, basking in the roaring adulation of an estimated one million people who wanted to thank their Boston Celtics 🍀 for winning a record-setting 18th National Basketball Association (NBA) championship. Crowds lined the parade route, which threaded its way from the fabled parquet of TD Garden right through the Suffolk University - Sawyer Business School campus. Stories like this almost write themselves, with a little help from our brilliant content people, like Benjamin Hall ✍ 😎 Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/e3Tuj4cn
