EPA and co-sponsors launched the Let’s Talk About Heat Challenge, a national competition to identify innovative and effective communication strategies that inform people of the risks of extreme heat and offer ways to keep safe during the hottest days. The challenge was developed in support of the National Climate Task Force’s Extreme Heat Interagency Working Group, which is being led by EPA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with support from the White House. Midstory received honorable mentions from the EPA for its submission to the challenge.

The event is organized by Cleveland Water Alliance along with TechTown Detroit, Toledo thinkhub Midstory, Blackstone LaunchPad at the University at Buffalo, and WEtech Alliance in Windsor, Ontario.

Like Princeton students since time immemorial, Mia Rosini ’21 entered her senior year looking for a job.

Employers, no less than flowers, bloom in certain seasons. The investment banks recruit earliest, usually in the spring of junior year, or even sophomore year for summer internships that often lead to offers of employment upon graduation. Consulting firms and tech companies schedule their interviews with seniors in September and early October. Nonprofits tend to hire later. Rosini knew she wanted to work in consulting and began meeting virtually with Princeton’s Center for Career Development as soon as school started last fall to research firms, update her résumé, draft cover letters, and prepare for interviews.
