Scholarship for Advanced Degree in Non-Profit Leadership

Wheelock College’s Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership program and the United Way are proud to partner to provide a unique scholarship opportunity for the staff of United Way member agencies. The scholarship is designed as a four-way partnership between the United Way, Wheelock College, the employer, and the employee (student). The United Way and Wheelock College will each contribute 25% of the tuition, if the employing organization agrees to support the employee with an additional 25% match, thereby reducing the applicant’s share to 25% of tuition.

The MS in Organizational Leadership is designed for professionals who want to prepare for leadership and executive roles in non-profit organizations, NGOs, and higher education. Through a series of required courses and advanced electives, students will gain the knowledge, skills and values necessary to assume leadership roles. Students will learn to build effective multi-cultural organizations where the talents and contributions of individuals from diverse backgrounds are recognized, respected, and valued. Moreover, this comprehensive program prepares students to take on progressive leadership positions within their organizations, and within the nonprofit field in an increasingly global environment.

Metro Boston Leads the Nation in Real GDP Growth

Courtesy of the fine folks at Universal Hub, the Bureau of Economic Analysis just reported that of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, METRO BOSTON had the fastest real GDP growth in the country in 2010!

This map shows how other metro areas compare. The associated article also talks about which industries were growing and affecting metropolitan areas (wholesale, durable-goods manufacturing, retail, financial activity). Interestingly, construction was described as detracting from growth. There’s more detail if you’re interested at www.bea.gov.

As one of Boston’s economic development initiatives, ONEin3 was pretty excited to read about this. It’s been a while since we’ve had a conversation through this website, but does anybody have thoughts about where there’s the greatest potential for continued growth here in Boston? Post your thoughts in the comments.
