Empowering Future Leaders: How CHLI’s Fellowship and Internship Programs Unlock Opportunity for Young Hispanic Leaders

Posted on December 12, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

By Mary Ann Gomez Orta

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Access, opportunity, and empowerment are key ingredients for success. This is why CHLI’s fellowship and internship programs are proving to be powerful engines of advancement for Hispanic students and young professionals. We’ve seen over 300 alumni go through our fellowship and leadership programs where they obtained personal and professional development that elevated them toward success in the marketplace. In the past 20 years, CHLI has focused its efforts on developing and strengthening future global leaders and has funded more than $10 million in educational programs.

Through initiatives like the CHLI Global Leaders Program, the Lincoln Diaz-Balart Public Service Fellowship, as well as Communications and Law Fellowships, CHLI creates tangible paths for ambitious young Latinos to enter public service, policy, business, and civic leadership.

Real-world experience, real impact
The Global Leaders Internship Program offers semester-long placements in Republican and Democrat congressional and corporate legislative-affairs offices, giving students first-hand exposure to the mechanics of policymaking, advocacy, and public affairs.

Meanwhile, the Lincoln Diaz-Balart Public Service Fellowship — launched in 2024 — provides recent graduates with full-time placements in bipartisan congressional offices in Washington, D.C., complete with stipend, housing and transportation support, mentoring from CHLI’s Board and Alumni network, and access to unique opportunities to build a career in public service.

For participants, this is far more than a résumé boost — it’s a career launchpad. Internships and fellowships such as these are widely recognized as “high-impact practices” that improve employability, provide professional networks, and help level the playing field for talented students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

Why this matters — especially for the Hispanic community
Latino students and young professionals often face historic barriers to access, mentorship, and professional networks. By creating paid, structured, and supportive pathways into Congress, corporate affairs, policy, law, and public service, CHLI is investing in the competitiveness and upward mobility of future leaders. The result: a growing pool of Hispanic talent ready to step into leadership roles, influence policy, and give back to their communities.

For CHLI’s partners, supporting these programs is a strategic investment in America’s future leadership. By partnering with CHLI’s fellowships and internships, stakeholders help unlock the potential of young leaders who otherwise might never have had the opportunity – all while reinforcing CHLI’s mission to advance the Hispanic community’s diversity of thought.

Looking ahead
As CHLI expands its Fellowship and Internship offerings — from law-focused tracks to public service placements and corporate internships — the demand from students continues to grow. With each cohort, CHLI strengthens its network of alumni, builds a pipeline of prepared Latino leaders, and solidifies its role as a premier incubator of Hispanic leadership in Washington and beyond.

For young Latinos — and for partners eager to support lasting impact — CHLI’s programs offer opportunity, empowerment, and a shared path forward.

A New Career and a Shared Mission

Posted on December 12, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published on Aflac Newsroom

Brittany Smith, before she became an Aflac agent in 2024, embarked on a personal mission to support families facing pediatric brain cancer.

For Brittany and her husband, Brandon, that drive started when they learned their son, Gunner, had a life-threatening brain tumor known as a high-grade multiform glioma in August 2017. After a six-hour emergency brain surgery, six weeks of daily proton radiation and 48 weeks of chemotherapy, Gunner finished treatments just in time for Halloween 2018. He was cancer free until the following February. After two more surgeries, Gunner’s cancer remained stable for nearly a year before discovering it had spread again in May 2020. A year and multiple treatments later, Gunner passed away at home with his loving parents and sisters by his side.

In Gunner’s memory, Brittany and Brandon established the All Heart Gunner Foundation to provide financial support to other children and families facing pediatric brain cancer. Named for Gunner’s mantra for fighting his brain cancer with an “All Heart” mentality, the foundation serves families across the country whose children have been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

“We know that moment when you’re told your child has cancer — it changes the entire family in an instant,” said Brittany. “Through the All Heart Gunner Foundation, we want to be a comfort for families faced with pediatric brain cancer and help alleviate the financial burden as much as possible so the family can put their time and attention on what matters most: getting their baby better.”

Learn more about All Heart Gunner at allheartgunner.com.

After getting the All Heart Gunner Foundation up and running, Brittany learned about Aflac and how its mission closely mirrored the heart of her own foundation — to provide financial support to individuals during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. She explored an opportunity to join the flock and very quickly discovered it was a natural fit. During a presentation at a sales team meeting, she learned about the My Special Aflac Duck® program and Aflac’s long-standing commitment to those facing pediatric cancer as well as blood disorders like sickle cell disease.

“During the nearly four years that Gunner bravely walked this road, we were unaware of the profound impact Aflac was making throughout the world of pediatric cancer and blood disorders,” said Brittany. “I was already familiar with the cancer policy — and that coverage for dependent children is included at no additional cost — but I soon learned that Aflac’s level of commitment and care extends even further.”

For more than 30 years, Aflac employees, independent agents and The Aflac Foundation, Inc., have contributed nearly $200 million to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to support research and treatment for pediatric cancer and blood disorders. A meaningful component of that mission is My Special Aflac Duck, a robotic companion designed to help provide comfort to pediatric patients with cancer or sickle cell disease. It also helps these children communicate with their parents, siblings, medical professionals and other caregivers.

Now, families who receive support from the All Heart Gunner Foundation will also receive their own My Special Aflac Duck to help support their child as they go through their cancer journey.

“Navigating a cancer or sickle cell diagnosis, treatment and throughout life can be challenging at any stage, so we introduced My Special Aflac Duck in 2018 to help these patients feel like they’re not alone. Since then, we’ve delivered more than 41,000 ducks to help provide comfort to these patients and their families,” said Buffy Swinehart, senior manager, Aflac Corporate Social Responsibility. “We’re so grateful for organizations like All Heart Gunner that help those facing pediatric cancer and blood disorders, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide a cuddly companion for the children and families they support.”

Along with My Special Aflac Duck and its accessories comes a suite of resources, including information on all of the functions and features of My Special Aflac Duck and the app; facilitation cards for meditation, communication, medical play, etc.; printable activities designed for play, relationship-building, empowerment and mindfulness — helping to provide distraction in busy or challenging environments — interactive use case guides to explore how My Special Aflac Duck can be used in different settings; FAQs; and additional support.

This comforting companion is available free of charge to children ages 3 and up with cancer or sickle cell disease.

Learn more about My Special Aflac Duck and Aflac’s commitment to supporting children with cancer and sickle cell disease at AflacChildhoodCancer.org.

From Experts to Leaders – Faculty for the Future Impact Survey 2025

Posted on December 12, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

In 2005 the Schlumberger Foundation created the Faculty for the Future (FFTF) program, boosted by a philanthropic donation of $50m from global technology company, SLB. The program was designed to increase research capability in emerging economies by supporting talented female researchers in science and technology. Twenty years on the FFTF Fellowship now comprises 965 women across 95 countries: advancing knowledge, fostering innovation and contributing to sustainable development.

Today we publish the results of the Faculty for the Future Impact Survey 2025, a study commissioned to better understand who the women of the Fellowship are today, the impact of their work, the challenges they face and where they see future opportunities. The survey, conducted by impact measurement specialists 60 Decibels, captured responses from 45% of Fellows across a diverse mix of ages (22–62 years) and regions (Africa 59%, Asia 30%, Americas 9%, others 2%).

The findings revealed a Fellowship working with purpose on local and global priorities, with 92% of Fellows having specific objectives to advance progress in UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Speaking at the report launch event in Nairobi, Kenya, Schlumberger Foundation President Capella Festa explained,

“The FFTF was created 20 years ago with the aim of closing gender gaps and building research capability in emerging economies, and the survey confirms that Fellows are academically active on a global scale. However, what we hadn’t expected was that we weren’t just building expertise, we were also creating leadership.”

“FFTF alumnae contribute their expertise across private, public and non-profit sectors through technical roles, leadership positions, and entrepreneurial ventures. Alumnae are highly active in educational outreach, public policy, social advocacy and entrepreneurship.”

Speaking at the FFTF Annual Forum in September, Dr. Tina Phiri Chanda, Copperbelt University, Zambia said,

“This is a game-changing survey. Having 76% of Fellows in academia who taught 83,000 students in 2024, supervised 400 projects and published over 600 research papers - this is long term impact, this is the wow. We are imparting knowledge and changing the trajectory of research and of our countries.”

Tonthoza Uganja, PhD candidate in Agroforestry at Bangor University and Founder of Sustainable Farming Solutions Malawi observed,

“As an entrepreneur, what I looked for in the report were the statistics on entrepreneurship.  21% of respondents consider themselves to be entrepreneurs – founders of start-ups, small businesses or offering products or services based on their research.  This is extraordinary and I see it as an opportunity.”

“I come from a country that is the fourth poorest in the world. I come from a country that needs to be built. I come from a country where systems need to be changed. So looking at this as a person who is passionate about building from realities on the ground and putting science to work to develop solutions that actually work for people, I feel very, very encouraged.”

Dr. Eman Maali, Palestinian Research Fellow in Computer Science at Imperial College London commented,

“One thing that struck me is that 94% of Fellows said there were not really alternative sources of funding available to them. So we need to understand that the Schlumberger Foundation is providing a vital source of support for these Fellows. But we also need to see how we can all work to increase other sources of funding specifically for women in STEM.”

Some of the findings on gender gaps were also surprising. While many Fellows continue to face restricted research opportunities, family obligations, and gender-based discrimination, we found that the main disparities are not between countries but between disciplines. Gender imbalance was particularly pronounced in engineering, physical sciences and computer science and the 29% of respondents who noted that fewer than one in ten members of their faculties are women were substantially from these disciplines.

Capella Festa adds,

“This report has revealed the sheer brilliance of FFTF Fellows and the leadership they are showing in their communities and beyond. The FFTF Fellowship has developed into a movement where women are equipped with the tools to lead, innovate, and inspire; helping shape a sustainable and equitable future for all.”

Monotype’s Creative Directors Collaborate with Bruce Mau Design to Reimagine Climate Future Through Design Thinking

Posted on December 12, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Led by Monotype Executive Creative Director Phil Garnham in partnership with Bruce Mau Design, this project considers potential futures and how design can inspire climate optimism and action — giving shape to both problems and solutions.
Part of Monotype’s Re:Vision campaign, delving into global themes impacting our world and their intersections with creativity.
Using superfamily Macklin™ Variable, the project’s microsite hosts Climate Chronicle that illustrates how mindful design solutions can drive change.

WOBURN, Mass., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Monotype Imaging Inc., a global leader in type and technology, announces the launch of its Hot & Wet futures project as part of Monotype’s type trends Re:Vision 2025 campaign, which looks at the big, global themes impacting the world through a design lens.

Spearheaded by Phil Garnham, Executive Creative Director at Monotype, in partnership with Bruce Mau Design, a multidisciplinary brand and design studio, this project is an exploration of how visual communication can shift climate conversations to inspire imagination, optimism, and action.

At the center of the project is Climate Chronicle, a microsite with a rotating collection of tomorrow’s “future headlines,” written as if environmental progress has already been achieved. Combining collaborative creative leadership with practical design tips, the project demonstrates how small, intentional design choices can contribute to a more sustainable future.

Climate Chronicle: Project Highlights

A series of optimistic “future headlines,” imagining a more positive climate future.
Sustainable design tips paired with each headline, making technical choices visible and actionable.
A focus on how design choices can ripple outward to influence perception and action.
Headlines set in Macklin™ Variable, a variable font superfamily chosen for its bold, expressive style and ability to deliver typographic variety with fewer files and lower digital impact.

Driving Climate-Positive Action Through Design

While discussions around the environment can feel overwhelming, this project demonstrates how design can act as a catalyst for sustainability, showing how the creative decisions we make (such as typography) can influence environmental outcomes. Small technical decisions multiplied at scale have a large impact.

“Future Headlines is an exercise we use in our brand workshops — it felt like a natural framework to use in our collaboration with Monotype,” said Kar Yan Cheung, Director of Design Strategy at Bruce Mau Design.

Envisioning a More Sustainable Future

To bring the future headlines in Climate Chronicles to life, Monotype Executive Creative Directors selected Macklin™ Variable, a variable font superfamily of 54 styles that evokes newspaper headlines with attention-grabbing styles. This selection shows that environmentally conscious choices can act as a compelling storytelling component. It also illustrates the power of variable fonts in building harmonious, yet stylistic variety across the design canvas.

A creative decision to use fewer styles, smaller files, or variable fonts in general can add up to meaningful impact when evaluating energy use. Smarter font delivery and broader script support make typography more sustainable for everyone.

Typography may seem like a small piece of the puzzle, but its sustainability potential is significant and increasingly essential as digital ecosystems continue to expand. Perhaps the strongest impact a typeface can have on the environment is on the emotional appeal of the storytelling itself.

“Inquisitive designers are always trying to push boundaries; it’s in our nature. Environmental design offers another touchpoint for that creative spirit. A typeface is kilobytes of encoded culture in a world of gigabyte media — by choosing and using typefaces with intention, typography becomes a subtle but serious climate tool,” said Phil Garnham, Executive Creative Director at Monotype. “Timeless type design is, in many ways, ecological design.”

“News-wise, we are overwhelmed by dystopian narratives about the climate crisis. Without hopeful, creative visions of what’s possible, we risk collective paralysis. We wanted to explore what it might feel like to encounter positive news about what our lives could be like if we addressed climate change. If we can’t imagine the future we want, we can’t possibly get there,” said Laura Stein, Chief Creative Officer at Bruce Mau Design.

Entergy Sponsors the 52nd Bayou Classic, Empowering Vulnerable Communities Through Active Engagement

Posted on December 12, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Entergy recently sponsored the 52nd Bayou Classic, a celebration honoring the rich heritage and legacy of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). As part of our commitment to education and community support, we contributed $100,000 — $50,000 each for Southern University and A&M College and Grambling State University.

Entergy is proud to continue our longstanding collaboration with HBCUs, through which we have created more opportunities for students to thrive. Our commitment to powering life extends beyond providing energy; it embodies our dedication to uplifting the communities we serve.

The Bayou Classic not only highlights exceptional athletic talent but also pays homage to the enduring traditions, achievements and contributions of HBCUs to American society. It also serves as an opportunity to spread awareness to fan goers about the essential programs Entergy provides to help uplift our communities.

At the Bayou Classic Fan Festival, Entergy’s Consumer Advocacy and Programs team hosted an engaging booth for The Power to Care, attracting thousands of fans from the region. Joined by Entergy lineworkers from across Southeast Louisiana, we shared the inspiring story of The Power to Care and explained how the program provides emergency bill payment assistance to our most vulnerable customers, including older adults and individuals with disabilities.

“Our booth activation played a crucial role in raising awareness of The Power to Care program, effectively demonstrating how donations have a direct and positive impact on the vulnerable customers we serve in our communities,” said Sandra Diggs-Miller, Entergy’s vice president of consumer advocacy and programs. “Engaging with attendees allowed us to share real stories of those who benefit from our assistance, highlighting the essential support we provide to individuals in need. We are committed to expanding our efforts to make a lasting difference in the lives of our customers.”

With over 200,000 attendees each year, the Bayou Classic offers unique opportunities to showcase New Orleans and Louisiana on a national stage. Entergy’s sponsorship not only supports education but also fosters economic growth for the local community by increasing tourism and generating revenue for local businesses.
