.” “Overall, I enjoyed the legacy project as a whole, but I believe some adjustments could have been made. My partner made the whole experience friendly and shared insights into life after college. We also had the opportunity to bond over teachers, experiences, and life as a whole. My partner gave me another option to a future career path. After all of that, this was a valuable learning experience for me. It taught me things about myself, about my future, eliminated some stress associated with post- graduation plans, helped me make a networking connection/friend, and let me reflect on my college experience and what I liked and dislike.” “The Legacy Project was a nice change of pace for a course that is otherwise very number, figure, and concept

Second, they consistently reminded each other of the value of thecollaboration to their growth as professionals. Over time, the value of a developed friendshipalso emerged. Third, they created collaborative plans, which evolved and expanded over time, toapply their knowledge to their teaching, scholarship, and service [15].Aligned with and key to the CREMM model, both faculty in the virtual case embraced “culturalresponsiveness” and sought multiple ways to acknowledge the legitimacies of their culturalheritages.

In my work, I believe it was my conditions of use that drove mydecisions on what to exclude and what to include. For example, I was exclusive in the sense thatultimately I planned to focus on the integration of stakeholder considerations as one aspect ofsystems thinking within the context of complex systems design, as opposed to more generalproduct design.

Amazon offices around the world, along with techworkers from other companies in the worlds’ first “cross-tech” walk out tried to encourage thecompany to take a stronger leadership role in combating climate change. The day before thewalkout, Bezos announced plans—the company’s “Climate Pledge,” to convert to renewableenergy by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2024. The activists applauded this gesture, butclaimed that it was not enough, and that the company needed a more urgent and intensiveresponse. Additionally, the Climate Pledge was perhaps intended to assuage customers that thecompany is in fact making changes (Peltz, J, 2019).This protest apparently (according to employees) led to Amazon enforcing a strictercommunications policy for its
