BOSTON – Both the private and public sectors in the Bay State are stepping up support of entrepreneurs through the University of Massachusetts-Boston. The Massachusetts Global Entrepreneur-in-Residence program at the school announced Thursday that it had added a second private-sector backer, Goodwin Procter, the Boston-based a law firm.
Goodwin Procter's donation will cover the cost of about 10 additional entrepreneurs who will be based out UMass-Boston's Venture Development Center, bringing the total number of entrepreneurs in the program to 20. The program is designed to attract entrepreneurs from other countries to Boston and help them start businesses in the region.
PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — Kristen Coke and Jameil Brown enrolled at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs at Princeton University not knowing much about the school's namesake aside from his oft-touted positive accomplishments, from the changes he made as the university's president to elevate the school's stature to his progressive record during his two terms as a U.S. president.
It wasn't until their junior year that they began to learn more about his record on race and his views toward African-Americans and women. Now seniors, both students were among the first to see a new exhibit Princeton is launching Monday that will more fully explore who Wilson was — openly and publicly acknowledging his bigotry alongside the progressivism for which he is so revered.
