The man who answered the call....
"Cell phones would not be possible without the research of Jesse Russell. He discovered a way to digitize speech to reduce bandwidth in the 1980s, which played a critical role in cell phone communications. Russell holds numerous patents in broadband wireless networks, including 4G, and was inducted into the U.S. National Academy of Engineering for his work."

Magna Publications and Academic Leader invite proposals for concurrent sessions for the 2024 Leadership in Higher Education Conference, October 10–12, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.
The Leadership in Higher Education Conference provides an opportunity for educational leaders to learn innovative strategies, trends, and best practices for effective management from nationally recognized experts and to network with like-minded peers from a wide range of academic institutions. Our plenary presentations, concurrent interactive workshop sessions, and networking opportunities foster a climate of learning and collaboration. We’re looking for engaging and informative proposals on academic and administrative leadership in higher education. Conference sessions provide attendees with real-world solutions grounded in sound academic research and practice. This call is for 60-minute concurrent sessions. 60-minute concurrent sessions provide a highly focused how-to demonstration on a specific best practice or approach to leadership topics based on the tracks below. Submissions should focus on research-based, actionable strategies; case studies are permitted but should focus on lessons that are applicable to other institutions.
A FINAL WORD
"If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated."
"The thing about black history is that the truth is so much more complex than anything you could make up."
