Fourteen high-achieving American college students selected for transformative summer internship program in Dublin.

PORTLAND, Maine, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) is pleased to announce the 2026 Frederick Douglass-Daniel O’Connell Global Interns, a diverse cohort of 14 exceptional students who will participate in an eight-week international internship program in Dublin, Ireland.

Co-sponsored by CIEE, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs, the African American Irish Diaspora Network (AAIDN), and the John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation, the Frederick Douglass-Daniel O’Connell Global Internship program honors two iconic leaders in the global movement for freedom, equality, social justice, and economic mobility by preparing young professionals for future and career success.

More than 500 students applied from hundreds of institutions of higher education, including Ivy League schools, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), private colleges, and flagship public universities.

The 2026 Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns in Ireland are:

• Barnard College, Ariadna Sanchez, Psychology
• Bowie State University, Joshua Looper, Government
• Clark Atlanta University, Daishanay Francis, Political Science
• Florida A&M University, Zaire Floyd, Journalism
• Georgia State University, Sarah Darabadey, Business Management
• Harvard University, Michelle Chung, Philosophy
• Howard University, Garrison Andrews, Political Science
• Nova Southeastern University, Caroline Miller, Political Science
• Spelman College, Hayley Ponds, Pre-Medicine
• Spelman College, Sophia Wade, Political Science
• University of Texas at Austin, Christopher Vega, History
• University of Texas at Austin, Nebiy Petros, Economics
• Wofford College, Chrisler White, History
• Yale University, Elijah St. Martin, Sociology

Students were selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants based on their demonstrated interest in gaining practical work experience in Ireland; their desire to emulate the business acumen and social justice reform of Frederick Douglass and Daniel O’Connell; their values in equality, entrepreneurship, and advocacy; and their commitment to pursuing a better, more inclusive world.

Thanks to sponsorship by the John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation, four spots in the cohort were dedicated to students attending colleges in the district that Congressman John Lewis represented for more than 30 years.

The 2026 Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns are featured in this video.

During the program, students will intern with Ireland-based companies, attend lectures on Irish history and culture, and participate in extracurricular and networking activities in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast. Students choose from dozens of internship placement opportunities, including roles in media, technology, transportation, and human rights advocacy. Each student receives an internship placement, academic lectures, housing, airfare, and a living stipend.

“The Douglass-O’Connell program introduces a new generation of young leaders to today’s diverse and vibrant Ireland,” said James P. Pellow, Ed.D., President and CEO of CIEE. “It’s a privilege to partner with AAIDN, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs, and the John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation to help increase diversity abroad as we also help unite the diverse and global Irish diaspora.”

“Congressman Lewis believed in the power of young people to advance justice and build the beloved community,” said Michael Collins, Chair of the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation. “We are proud to support four exceptional students in this year’s program. By expanding their global perspectives and leadership skills in Ireland, this experience helps equip the next generation to carry forward Congressman Lewis’ legacy of creating ‘Good Trouble’ and making the world a better place.”

“The Frederick Douglass-Daniel O’Connell Global Internship program builds inclusive bridges of understanding and opportunity between Ireland and America,” said Dennis Brownlee, Founder and President of the African American Irish Diaspora Network. “We are pleased to again support this transformative program.”

To help expand access to international opportunities, all eligible applicants who were not selected as one of the 2026 Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns in Ireland will receive a $1,500 Douglass-O’Connell Scholars Grant, which may be applied toward any of CIEE’s 200+ summer or semester study abroad programs through summer 2027.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Presidents Day is often a time to reflect on leadership and the values that shaped our nation. At Piedmont Advantage Credit Union, it has taken on a more personal meaning.

Each year on Presidents Day, Piedmont Advantage closes its operations and brings together employees from every branch and department for PACU Day, an annual gathering that focuses on professional growth, shared learning and honest conversations about where the credit union is headed and how each teammate plays a role in that journey.

“PACU Day is one of my favorite days on our calendar,” said Dion Williams, President & CEO of Piedmont Advantage. “It’s our opportunity to reflect, come together and intentionally invest in our employees, because when our people grow, our credit union grows and our members benefit.”

This year’s PACU Day, held on Monday, February 16, featured guest speaker Dr. Pam Cobler, an educator, consultant, author, and nationally recognized disability advocate. Cobler’s remarks were deeply personal and widely meaningful, challenging PACU teammates to rethink how they define difference, resilience and success.

Cobler opened by sharing her own story, describing a traumatic motorcycle accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury and permanently altered the course of her life. She spoke candidly about how she now views her journey in two distinct chapters, “pre and post injury,” reflecting on how her experiences reshaped her perspective and reinforcing a lesson she attributes to herself: “Life is one of our greatest teachers.”

From that foundation, Cobler invited teammates to consider how difference shows up in every room, and it can be reframed as a strength rather than a limitation. “Being different is extraordinary,” she said.

Throughout her remarks, Cobler emphasized that resilience is not reserved for extraordinary circumstances or people. Instead, it is built through intention, repetition and the willingness to take action even when conditions are imperfect.

Citing a quote frequently attributed to Zig Ziglar, she said, “You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to start to be great.”

She also encouraged teammates to reflect on the influence of their personal and professional environments, noting that growth is often shaped by proximity. “You are the sum or the average of the five people that you’re around most of the time,” Cobler said, urging the group of 100 in attendance to be intentional about the people, habits, and ideas they allow to shape their days.

Cobler reinforced that meaningful change rarely happens all at once. Instead, it is the result of small, consistent actions practiced over time. Giving credit to author John Maxwell, she said, “Small habits create lasting change,” adding that “daily habits are what shape the future.”

As she concluded, Cobler returned to the theme of resilience, not as the absence of hardship, but as the decision to rise anyway. “Resilience is to rise when the world expects you to fall,” she said.

Reflecting on the day, Williams said Cobler’s message captured the heart of PACU Day itself.

“Dr. Cobler reminded us that leadership isn’t defined by position or circumstance. It’s revealed in how we respond, how we grow and how we show up for one another,” Williams said. “PACU Day exists for moments like this, when our teammates leave not just informed, but inspired.”

PACU Day has grown into a celebrated tradition. By dedicating Presidents Day to learning, connection and growth, the credit union continues to strengthen its culture and invest in the people who bring its purpose to life every day.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Carrot today announced an expansion of its parenting benefits, adding on-demand pediatric telemedicine through Blueberry Pediatrics to support families. This new offering is available to families with children under age 12 and is designed to reduce healthcare costs and improve workplace productivity. By helping parents access timely care for their children, employers benefit from less absenteeism and significant cost savings associated with fewer avoidable emergency department and urgent care visits.

Carrot’s new pediatric telemedicine service provides parents with 24/7 access to on-demand virtual visits with board-certified pediatricians from Blueberry Pediatrics for common injuries and illnesses such as ear infections, rashes, colds, and the flu. Members also receive a home medical kit containing a wireless digital ear scope, pediatric pulse oximeter, and thermometer, which enables Blueberry’s pediatricians to safely and remotely assess, diagnose, and treat children.

“Parents shouldn’t have to choose between caring for their sick child and meeting work responsibilities,” said Tammy Sun, Founder and CEO of Carrot. “By integrating pediatric telemedicine into our parenting journey, we’re helping families get the comprehensive care they need, while delivering meaningful cost savings and productivity gains for employers.”

Pediatric emergency department visits occur at a high rate — nearly one per infant per year — and cost an average of more than $1,100 per visit. According to Blueberry data, telemedicine can reduce unnecessary emergency department visits by up to 40 percent, helping families avoid high-cost care while minimizing time away from work.

“Blueberry was built to give families access to high-quality pediatric care anytime they need it,” said Rich Berner, CEO of Blueberry Pediatrics. “Through this partnership with Carrot, we’re making that support available to more working parents and helping reduce avoidable costs tied to pediatric emergency department visits and missed work. We’re proud to partner with Carrot to help parents navigate the parenting journey with confidence and peace of mind, while helping employers build a more resilient, satisfied, and supported workforce.”

This new offering builds on Carrot’s existing benefits programs for parents, which include expert chats, educational resources, group sessions, and navigation to high-quality pediatric care. The addition of pediatric telemedicine connects preventive care, real-time clinical access, and reduced health care costs into a single experience.
