• Life by design: A creative plan for life | Medha Priya | TEDxGPREC

    In this talk, our speaker Medha Priya speaks about the differences between planning and designing in the context of life choices and career paths. The speech chronicles her personal journey of ultimately finding her passion in the sustainability sector. Medha Priya is a designer, architect & climate warrior who has been fighting climate change by climate education initiatives. She is also one of the 17 young leaders of the United Nations ‘We The Change’ campaign that was announced recently ahead of COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Conference.

    Medha followed her calling and graduated as an Architect in 2018.

  • Why More And More Colleges Are Closing Down Across America

    The mid-2010's saw an uptick in U.S. college closures—particularly in the private nonprofit space.
    Since 2016, 91 U.S. private colleges have either closed, merged with another school, or announced plans to close according to a CNBC analysis of data from Higher Ed Dive. This trend is affecting tens of thousands of college students across the country, with almost half of those schools closing after the onset of the pandemic in 2020. For many struggling schools the pandemic was the final straw—but two major themes showed up consistently throughout the closures: finances and enrollment.

    "There are two significant issues affecting higher education right now," said The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief Robert Franek. "Specifically, through the admission and enrollment offices. Number one, it is the admission cliff, and that is the impending decline. We'll be graduating our lowest high school classes by population in 2025. And most enrollment professionals have been wringing their hands about this date of 2025, but many schools have seen those enrollment declines already."
    About 95% of U.S. colleges rely on tuition, according to Franek, meaning they rely on money from students to operate. Dwindling enrollment numbers mean less money, fewer student offerings, and eventually a shuttered institution.

    "It's a reflection of, I think, an unsustainable operating platform, meaning a heavy reliance on tuition, which can't always keep up with inflation," said Fitch Ratings Senior Director Emily Wadhwani.

    "It can't always keep up with erosion in enrollment. We can't keep hiking tuition sticker price in the hopes that the net residual once you account for scholarship and discounting and the like is gonna be enough to sort of offset your growing expense base."

  • Changes in the environment are causing diseases that make it harder for farmers to grow coffee. We're helping them adapt in many ways, including donating 100 million healthy coffee trees to farmers by 2025. These trees have been bred to resist coffee leaf rust and produce more coffee cherries, which will help farmers and their communities have a sustainable future growing coffee.
