Saturdays done well at IIDE - The Digital School! A fun and engaging session teaching some extremely bright students + the very capable Akash Gogri. We discussed brands, strategy, communications and how to hit the road running in today's marketing landscape. To my mind, IIDE helps cover the gap between what's taught in textbooks vs the speed at which brands and consumers move. Here's to conducting more sessions and bridging the theory vs practicality gap!

Student wellness includes more than physical and mental health. Financial stress weighs heavily on students. Colleges and universities can do more to provide students with the knowledge and tools they need to take charge of their financial lives and as a bonus reduce their stress and anxiety. Launched in 2023, Fizz, a winner of Harvard's Innovation Award, has reimagined financial literacy through student-centered design and innovative programming. The Fizz program has combined money management, financial advising and credit building into an award-winning program that students love. Expand your thinking about student wellness and success by including financial wellness. https://lnkd.in/dGGZDBFa #financialliteracy #financialwellness #adulting #reinvention #edreinvent #financialeducation
