ATMA Hotel Group’s Post

A message from our President & CEO:

Thank you for doing this, Herzog Foundation! There are profound theological and pedagogical reasons to at least be asking these questions. Sure, it blows up much of the way we think about traditional school. But in general, doesn't the assumptions that come from starting with the gospel as our first premise also blow up a lot of assumptions! There's enough data out there about the pedagogical effects on students and their capacities; it provides more time for teachers to prep and to stay sharp throughout the week; it creates more space for recognizing the importance of the family; (if Monday is the day "off,") it encourages greater participation in and enjoyment of our corporate worship. I could go on and on. It's part of the reason why it's one of the first podcast episodes I put together for RenewEd. 24 minute listen here: https://lnkd.in/gaRDXAKk

The transformation continues...

The business of sport...

Don't be surprised if you see Kennesaw State University or University of Indianapolis follow the lead of Lindenwood to cut athletics opportunities in the coming years. The finances don't add up and there will be a tidal wave of expenses not realized by the leaders at these institutions. Analysis on KSU, UIndy: https://lnkd.in/gZEQrgKW Or for that matter, University of Southern Indiana. Analysis on USI: https://lnkd.in/g_KPQGZG University of Delaware are you paying attention? Of course they aren't. As of 2019, Delaware operated on 87% subsidy from students and the institution. Athletics is generating only 13% of its own revenue to pay its bills, and wants to move to CUSA and DI-FBS? Unwise financial decision that will lead to cuts in the near future. It costs MORE to move up a division than the new money raised. Always.

THANK YOU FOR TOP FAN.! With President Joe Biden – I just got recognized as one of their top fans.! ALLIED: I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE SUCH A POWERFUL MILITARY MOVIE IN ALL MY LIFE. I CAN SERIOUSLY SEE BRAD PITT PLAY 007 J. BOND. ARTICLE: CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G.

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. AN OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: COUNTRY GOVERNMENT $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA.

"How do you take a great place, and make it better?" That was the question President C. Andrew McGadney asked himself when he first came to Knox College. Now, entering his fourth year as president, he discusses the big upcoming academic year for Knox—including the record number of new students, and the millions of dollars of work being done.

Go Blue! Joel. I remember this like it was yesterday. Beautiful sunny Ann Arbor spring day and such joy. It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine! The Walter Cronkite speech was fairly realistic given the status of the US economy and the world. He told us to stay at Michigan. Mr. Cronkite talked about the “megaproblems that we face:” 1. The population explosion, 2. Pollution, 3. Depletion of natural resources (including food and energy), and 4. Atomic proliferation. “It is hardly necessary to expand on these items for a group of Michigan graduates -- * you know that the world population will double by the time you are fifty and will almost double again by the time you sit here to watch your grandchildren graduate; and almost 90 percent of that growth will be in the already poor, starving, underdeveloped lands. * You know that our blind devotion to immediate profit instead of future security continues to poison the water we drink and the air we breathe and threatens the entire food chain at its source. * You know that, because of mismanagement, we are running out of fuel and arable land and dozens of vitalminerals and metals. * You know that experts count a score of nations on the threshold of nuclear energy, and its by-products of bomb-grade material. * Hanging heavily over us is the thought of atomic bombs in the hands of the Khadaffis and Khomeinis of our world. These are problems that will not wait much longer for solution. Among the more pessimistic of our scientists there is the gloomy assessment that we already may have passed the point of no return on one or all of them. Well, I should think that is a proposition that at least you would want to test.” Still even more relevant today! "It's up to you," said Walter Cronkite, “to help and to lead the inevitable social, political, and economic revolution which our magnificent technological revolution forces upon us. "But don't despair, you, of all people, are up to it." https://lnkd.in/g3fYs_t9

In the spirit of our school's commitment to empowering students for success, I'd like to commend our Executive Director, Dr. Stauffer, for his article highlighting the importance of partnerships in preparing our high school students for the future. The article captures the collaborative efforts between various educational partners, including local businesses, educators, counselors, administrators, and industry representatives, to ensure that no student is left behind in their pursuit of valuable skills and opportunities. Dr. Stauffer emphasizes the important role of Career and Technology Centers in providing high-quality education that equips students with practical, hands-on learning experiences. By partnering with local businesses and industry, our centers bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing students for success in college, postsecondary training, the military, or the workforce. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on the alignment of curriculum with industry standards, the provision of industry-standard tools and equipment, and the opportunity for students to earn nationally recognized certifications. These initiatives not only enhance students' understanding of their chosen fields but also cultivate a skilled workforce that contributes to the prosperity of Berks County. The article highlights the importance of early engagement and informed decision-making for students, facilitated through career presentations, campus tours, and open house events. By fostering positive relationships and collaboration with local partners, our school ensures that students are well-prepared to meet the demands of tomorrow's workforce. Dr. Stauffer's article supports the commitment of our school and community to empowering the next generation of skilled workers and leaders. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about these opportunities to reach out to the Berks Career and Technology Center or the Reading/Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center. Together, we are shaping a bright future for our students and our community.

I spent some time on campus today discussing opportunities for students, the current blockchain landscape, and what we can do to be prepared. Do you have a #cryptocurrency club or want to start one?
