Below is a video of the Perimeter Truss Reflector (PTR) I designed and built during my Summer internship at Tendeg LLC. In the video, Seth Hill, Kenzo Neff, and myself deploy and stow the PTR. If you would like to see more details on the project, please see my previous post!

Even a short trip abroad can be impactful. But for those .1% of college students who get international work experience each year, it's eye-opening and life-changing. The daily logistics of navigating a new city in a foreign language and culture - whether commuting, grocery shopping, and of course getting to work early for a meeting - requires critical thinking, problem-solving, and most importantly a self-belief and self-confidence. It's real and it's empowering. From there, you are asked to show up every day ready to tackle a real problem that local entrepreneurs dedicate their life to solving. In the process, you work with diverse teams from different backgrounds and perspectives. It's hard. But the outcome is unbelievably rewarding. Madison worked for a corporate health/wellness company, Frizzant, that offers yoga and health food catering. She'll undoubtedly go on to impress prospective employers for whom Madison will stand out as part of the .1%. We need to get far more students to gain global experience before they enter the global workforce, however we can.

I’ve talked to a few seniors recently about the transition from student life to the ‘real world’ and I think it’s important for employers to remember that there’s a huge emotional - and often physical - transition process that students go through when they close their course books for the final time. Obviously, there’s the economic issue of ensuring that you have money coming in to pay the bills. But there’s also the personal component of being ripped from a large group of friends, often being dumped into a new city or location, and having to come up to speed with a new day-to-day reality. And yet employers still expect new starters to hit the ground running. That’s despite the fact that even the most seasoned new employee takes 180 days or so to come up to ‘full productivity’. So imagine what it’s like for a student in their first job. It’s little surprise that outstanding students like Arden Jordan would describe the transition as bittersweet. There’s certainly excitement at the start of life in ‘the real world’ but there’s genuine apprehension too. That’s why we created the Boldsquare residency, to take away some of that mystique of the workplace, and not just provide marketing skills to students but also give them a sense of what it will be like to work in an agency environment. The Boldsquare residents will still need to make the adjustment from campus to workplace, but hopefully the shift is faster and more effective. That’s good for employers, and it’s good for new graduates too.

Get to know our team! Today we are featuring Lucas Greenberg our summer intern from Case Western Reserve University! What do you do at UH Ventures in one sentence? - I've been interning with Matthew Zenker and the new UH Haslam Sports Innovation Center with their incoming deal flow. I research, analyze, and compile a variety of data and information to assess sports-medicine and health companies/markets to help accelerate and invest in them. I'm also working on the upcoming SportsLand event with Patricia Colella, MBA, by helping out in all areas of event management. What are your favorite things to do outside of school? - I love to exercise and try new workouts, but more importantly, I love to eat. During COVID, I began cooking and baking as a way to unwind; I try to make a meal four times a week. My favorite dish to make is my grandfather’s shrimp and pea risotto. Favorite binge-worthy TV show? - The Office. I have seen The Office over five times and I can quote certain scenes by heart! What is your favorite restaurant in Cleveland? - Batuqui; a fun Brazilian summer dinner spot. What do you love about Cleveland? - I was born and raised all around Cleveland, and throughout my time, there has been one constant: the people. Everyone from Cleveland has a unique and inspiring story, and I love meeting people from around the world. #Internship #HealthTech #Innovation #EventManagement #Innovation #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #Cleveland
