Congratulations to all our 2024 Bloomberg Arts Interns! Last week, interns based in New York City gathered together to mark the end of this year’s program and to discuss their favorite moments from the summer. Since 2017, the Bloomberg Arts Internship has supported more than 1,700 paid internships for high school students at cultural institutions across the country. With the expansion of the program to Detroit and New Orleans, this year was our largest program yet. From museums to music conservatories to glass blowing studios, over 350 students based in seven U.S. cities interned at a wide range of institutions where they developed skills to prepare them for success both in the classroom and in the workforce.

Climate change impacts our health, planet, and the economy - and Mary Schapiro leads a number of efforts to involve the financial sector in the environmental movement, by helping companies better understand and disclose the climate-related risks they face, and by helping drive greater private sector investment in climate solutions.
Huge congratulations to Mary Schapiro, who won the inaugural Insight Investment – University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance in the Outstanding Service category. As part of the Prize, Schapiro gave a lecture titled ‘Looking back and moving on: reflections on forty years of changing climate, law and finance’ in Oxford on 12th June. Watch the lecture again here: https://lnkd.in/enbUgHqt. Schapiro is Vice Chair for Global Public Policy of Bloomberg L.P., Vice Chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and Chair of the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC). She is also former Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In her 2023 Prize citation the judging panel highlighted Schapiro’s instrumental leadership in establishing the new global architecture for #sustainability #reporting. She led the development of the FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB Standards), the two fundamental pillars of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).

Last fall, families were promised a streamlined federal student aid application: the Better FAFSA. The results were nothing as promised. “Now is the time to contain the FAFSA fire and establish good practices that support talented students with lower- and moderate-incomes,” write Nicholas A Watson of our education team and Tania LaViolet of The Aspen Institute. Read the full article in The Hill to learn more about the FAFSA crisis and how the American Talent Initiative could draw crucial inspiration for the solution. https://lnkd.in/evSJcuTT
