Episode 29: Empowering the Community17 Nov 202200:22:35

What does it mean to empower someone? When we hear the term ‘civil servant’ we often think of someone who, well… serves. But as our guest today will tell you, serving the public is about more than doing things for people. It’s also about helping people take their next step, whether it’s personal or professional, by helping them grow and develop. This interview was recorded in summer 2022. Since our interview, Shannon has transitioned into an exciting new role as the Deputy Chief of Staff at the DOE Grid Deployment Office.

Our guest today is Suffolk alumna Shannon Alessandroni. In our chat we had a chance to learn more about Shannon’s career journey and how she’s continued to support Suffolk students through her own involvement as a recent grad.

Episode 28: Designing Ramplify03 Nov 202200:13:09

A great design can make all the difference. Take Ramplify’s album art, for instance. When we set out to create this show last year, we wanted to create an image that conveyed both impact and inspiration. We brought this idea to Suffolk’s very own Office of Marketing and Communications and, with the help of their Art Director, Denise Lang, we created something flashy, yet refined. 

If you didn’t know, Ramplify’s album art is actually award-winning. We recently sat down with Denise Lang to learn a bit more about this recent distinction and her career in design in general.
