The amount of change businesses have experienced since the pandemic has been considerable. Just about every sector learned some lessons during and after the pandemic. And, as a result, they operate differently today. That includes hospitals. In the past five years, hospitals of all sizes have seen changes in staffing, tele-health, finance, and staff and patient safety among other things. Dr. Cornelius Powell is Chief Medical Officer at the Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, an award-winning 145 bed facility that serves Williamsburg, Virginia, and its surrounding communities. He spoke with us at the hospital where we discussed the changes taking place there and at hospitals across the country.

Ask someone to describe the current job market and you're bound to hear a range of labels like "soft," "mixed," and even "positive." However you see it, one thing's for sure: the current job market is unusual. Due to a number of factors, it seems like we've never experienced a market quite like this. If you're seeking or considering a new role, some of the traditional tactics still work. At the same time, it's important to adopt some new approaches as well. Phil Heavilin is director of Internships and Applied Learning at William & Mary. He works for the university's Office of Career Development and Professional Engagement. Throughout his career, he's guided countless people through their job searches, from new grads, to mid-level, to senior level professionals.

Whether a startup or a Fortune 500 company, it's more challenging than ever to cut through all the noise and competition to reach new customers, partners, and investors. One requirement for success is a great story, and often one that can be told in just seconds. In today's world, the best story wins. Last month during homecoming weekend, the William & Mary entrepreneurship hub hosted a storytelling workshop, titled "What's Your Story?" William & Mary alumni Francis Lyons and Jason Ross, both successful creatives and founders of top ventures in media, tech, and entertainment, led the workshop. Afterwards, they sat down with us in the entrepreneurship hub to talk about storytelling, the importance of a compelling narrative, and how today no story equals no success.

The World Wildlife Fund works to build a world where people and nature thrive, and Loucks has been all over the world working on a variety of interesting projects to reach that goal.
