We’ll talk about my starting as an entry-level software engineer, recognizing opportunities to grow inside and outside my role, getting involved with philanthropy and DEI initiatives at Bloomberg, and transitioning to people leadership.

Thank you everyone for your patience and attention to safety as we executed a very large portion of the freight elevator project at the Warch Campus Center on Tuesday. Looking forward, we have concrete work taking place on Friday the 20th and some small crane work on Tuesday the 24th. After that, the work out in front of Warch should be minimal. As always, safety first please!

President Laurie A. Carter has been invited to be the guest speaker at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration at the State Capitol rotunda in Madison on Jan. 16. It will be broadcast live at noon on Wisconsin Public Radio and on the PBS Wisconsin website. A one-hour highlights program from the event will then air on PBS Wisconsin at 9 that night.
Produced and directed by WPR’s Dr. Jonathan Øverby, the 42nd annual Tribute and Ceremony is the official state ceremony, and the oldest official MLK Day state celebration in the United States.
This year’s theme is “Let Justice Rule.” In addition to President Carter, guests include Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra conducted by Andrew Sewell, Fountain of Life Praise Band, Brown Sisters Gospel Quartet, Prince Hall Masonic Honor Guard, and Kalaanjali Dance Company.
“We come together to honor King’s birthday and his legacy of service,” Øverby said. “We pay homage to the memories of those who paid the ultimate price in the pursuit of justice, freedom, and equality during the Civil Rights Movement. This event is grounded in the very core of what it means to celebrate freedom not just for some, but for all.”
The event is free and open to the public, and no tickets are required. People throughout the state can listen live on all WPR stations and at wpr.org. PBS Wisconsin will also carry the event live at pbswisconsin.org and broadcast a one-hour highlight program at 9 p.m.
On Tuesday, January 17th, the penthouse for the new freight elevators is being hoisted on to the roof of Warch Campus Center. Due to having a large crane on E. Boldt Way, there will be barricades in place and people supervising for foot traffic safety. However, please be aware and cautious of your surroundings at all times while in the area. Inside Warch, there will be areas and a stairwell caution-taped off for safety. Please do not enter these areas. Please note that the freight elevators will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, the 16th and 17th, and the link/hallway between Sage Hall and Warch will also be closed on Tuesday, the 17th.
We are walking every day at work, taking hundreds and sometimes thousands of steps per day; how do we stay on our feet while conditions or walking surfaces change? Whether we are walking inside a building after just walking through the rain or snow or walking across a snow-covered parking lot that might be hiding ice, we must pay attention to our center of gravity, pace, and stride.
