Academic researchers are not just experts in a narrow field—they are highly trained and creative problem-solvers. But they too often lack the opportunity to contribute in ways that have immediate societal benefit—not because of lack of interest or inability, but rather because of the absence of critical infrastructure to make research expertise more accessible beyond the academy.

The work & learn program is amazing as it is for EVERY employee. Full time, part time, salary, hourly, it doesn’t matter. This program can be a stand alone educational benefit for employers that don’t have such a benefit. It can also be a supplemental benefit for companies that have tuition assistance but only offer it to salaried full time employees. Work & Learn can be used as a retention as well as a recruiting tool. Interested to bring an easy to implement educational benefit to your organization?

Here are a few more to ask yourselves at least, if not the college: 1. Is there an active Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF)? If not, what's the process to start one? 2. How close is the nearest Orthodox Church or monastery? What transportation options are there to get there if you don't have a car? 3. What kind of vegan options does the dining hall have (for fasting periods)? https://lnkd.in/gCG8NuYR
