Comcast Announces Internet Essentials Community College Pilot Programs In Colorado And Illinois

Education and home Internet go hand in hand. And equalizing access to educational resources is one of the most important benefits of a home Internet connection. That’s precisely why we first offered Internet Essentials to low-income families with children from Head Start through 12th grade. Education, however, doesn’t just end after high school. So, today, I had the privilege of joining Colorado Lieutenant Governor and Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education Joe Garcia and President of the Colorado Community College System Nancy McCallin, Ph.D., to announce that Comcast is extending Internet Essentials, on a pilot basis, to low-income community college students across Colorado. We also announced an Internet Essentials low-income community college pilot program in Illinois, home to one of the largest community college systems in the nation. To be eligible, students must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant — the nation’s largest need-based grant program.

Sanofi Culture of Employee Engagement

There is now a very large amount of research available, showing that companies that regard diversity and inclusion (D&I) as an integral part of their culture and a necessary part of how they deliver their business strategy enjoy higher levels of engagement from their employees. This focus on inclusion allows companies to create an environment where employees feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and to bring their full potential and talent to their work. This is the kind of environment that we strive for at Sanofi – and the kind of environment that our Employee Resource Groups (or ERGs for short) have played a big part in helping us to create and are continuing to help us improve and enhance.
