NEWS briefly EDUCATION

DESPITE STAGNANT ENROLLMENT, INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CONTRIBUTE NEARLY $41 BILLION TO THE U.S. ECONOMY NAFSA: Association of International Educators announced new data recently that show that the more than one million international students at U.S. colleges and universities contributed nearly $41 billion to the U.S. economy and supported 458,290 jobs during the 2018-2019 academic year. This represents only a 0.6% increase in job support and creation and a 3.8% increase in dollars contributed to the economy from the previous academic year.

Further analysis showed that for every 7 international students, 3 U.S. jobs are created or supported by spending in the following sectors: higher education, accommodation, dining, retail, transportation, telecommunications and health insurance.

The growth rate of students choosing to study in the United States continues to decline while competitor countries experience double-digit growth (Canada up 16%; Australia up 15%). NAFSA estimates the continued decline in international student enrollment since fall 2016 has cost the U.S. economy $11.8 billion and more than 65,000 jobs.

HEALTH

AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION® AND VSP® VISION CARE COLLABORATE ON PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVE TO SAVE SIGHT IN PEOPLE WITH DIABETES The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently announced a new collaboration with VSP® Vision Care, a VSP Global® company which serves nearly 90 million members as the largest and only national notfor-profit vision benefits provider, to focus on an often overlooked but costly and devastating complication of diabetes: eye disease. This initiative will focus on the crucial role annual comprehensive eye exams play in the early detection, intervention and prevention of eye disease and vision loss caused by diabetes.

The new eye health initiative will be launching in 2020 as part of the ADA’s Overcoming Therapeutic Inertia campaign to accelerate care, treatment and early intervention to improve the lives of people living with and those caring for people with diabetes.

Additional campaign resources and updates will be released in the coming months.

LAW & POLITICS

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ALLOCATES $19.7 MILLION TO HELP JURISDICTIONS REGISTER, TRACK SEX OFFENDERS AND PROTECT YOUNG ATHLETES The Office of Justice Programs’ Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) recently announced awards of nearly $15.8 million to help states, U.S. territories and tribal communities develop and improve their systems to register and track sex offenders. SMART also awarded $2.3 million to help protect participants in U.S.-Olympic and Paralympic athletic programs from abuse and $1.6 million to maintain the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website.

The awards will be used to help jurisdictions meet the requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), Title I of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. Jurisdictions will develop and enhance their sex offender registration systems in order to better track and monitor sex offenders, reduce violent crime and improve public safety.

New president has big plans for Olive-Harvey College Continued from page 1

BY WENDELL HUTSON Contributing Writer

For more than a year, Kimberly Hollingsworth, an amateur weightlifter, has been at the helm leading Olive-Harvey College into a new era of leadership.

After first being installed interim president in July 2018 and being named permanent president a year later, the Hyde Park resident is aiming high with five-year goals, such as boosting enrollment at the school, establishing greater relationships with the community and improving the student life cycle.

“Increasing our strategic partnerships is one way we plan to recruit new students and to increase our enrollment because we realize here at Olive-Harvey we have an older student population with the average student being 50-years-old,” she said. “Building a stronger pipeline with high schools is another way we are looking to boost enrollment.”

She added that because the economy is doing well, students are able to find meaningful jobs and therefore have chosen not to go to school.

Olive-Harvey, 10001 S. Woodlawn Ave., has a current student enrollment of 1,743, a far cry from its heydays when it had upwards of 4,000 students. Most of the students at-

tending Olive-Harvey are black and Hispanic, women and attend school on a part-time basis, according to Hollingsworth.

But with courses costing as little as $146 per credit hour (an average course is three credit hours for city of Chicago residents) Hollingsworth said it is one of the most economical community colleges in the state.

Olive-Harvey Center of Excellence focuses on transportation, logistics and distribution but Hollingsworth said the college is “not a truck driving school” although it does offer a commercial drivers license course, which is required to become a truck driver.

“The Center offers automotive training as well as forklifting, aviation, diesel technology, supply chain management, and so much more,” added Hollingsworth.

One recent accomplishment the new president oversaw, which she said was the brainchild of City Colleges of Chicago Chancellor Juan Salgado, was a food pantry that kicked off last month.

“The launch of our food pantry completed a string of food pantries City Colleges initiated at all seven of its colleges with Olive-Harvey being the last one,” said Hollingsworth.

The pantry, which is free of charge, is open to students from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. Now, students have their choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, canned

goods, and even toiletries.

Food insecurity among low-income and minority college students has grown into a national problem, according to a 47-page report by the nonprofit National Student Campaign Against Hunger & Homelessness.

In October 2016, the NSCAHH organization along with three other nonprofits released the report “Hunger On Campus.”

The report found that 53 percent of low-income college students facing food insecurity and housing instability had missed class; 54 percent missed important study sessions, while 55 percent were unable to purchase textbooks.

College students were surveyed on food insecurity between March and May 2016, and the study included 3,765 students in 12 states attending eight community colleges and 26 four-year colleges and universities.

Prior to joining Olive-Harvey, Hollingsworth, a single mother of one adult son, served as vice president of Academic and Student Affairs at Malcolm X College on the West Side. As a native from downstate East St. Louis, Hollingsworth said in her spare time she enjoys working out at the gym and reading a good book.

“As a student of life, I would describe myself ‘perfectly imperfect’ because I am not always right and I have made mistakes in life,” she said.

Babies Understand Counting Years Earlier Than Believed Babies who are years away from being able to say “one,” “two,” and “three” actually already have a sense of what counting means, Johns Hopkins University researchers have discovered.

The findings reveal that very early on, years earlier than previously believed, babies who hear counting realize that it’s about quantity.

“Although they are years away from understanding the exact meanings of number words, babies are already in the business of recognizing that counting is about number,” said senior author Lisa Feigenson, a cognitive scientist at Johns Hopkins who specializes in the development of numeric ability in children.

“Research like ours shows that babies actually have a pretty sophisticated understanding of the world – they’re already trying to make sense of what adults around them are saying, and that includes this domain of counting and numbers.” The findings are newly published in

Johns Hopkins University researchers have discovered that very early on, years earlier than previously believed, babies who hear counting realize that it’s about quantity.

Developmental Science.

Most children don’t understand the full meaning of number words until they’re about four years old. That’s surprising, Feigenson said, considering how much counting young children are exposed to.

“We buy counting books for babies and we count aloud with toddlers. All of that raises the question: Are kids really clueless about what counting means until they’re in the preschool years?”

To find out, Feigenson and first author Jenny Wang, a former graduate student at

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

Johns Hopkins who is slated to become an assistant professor at Rutgers University, worked with 14 and 18-month-old infants.

The babies watched as toys, little dogs or cars, were hidden in a box that they couldn’t see inside of, but could reach into.

Sometimes the researchers counted each toy aloud as they dropped them into the box, saying, “Look! One, two, three, four – four dogs!” Other times the researchers simply dropped each toy into the box, saying, “This, this, this and this – these dogs.”

Without counting, the babies

had a hard time remembering that the box held four things.

They tended to become distracted after the researchers pulled just one out – as if there was nothing else to see. But when the toys were counted, the babies clearly expected more than one to be pulled from the box. They didn’t remember the exact but they did remember the approximate number.

“When we counted the toys for the babies before we hid them, the babies were much better at remembering how many toys there were,” Wang said. “As a researcher these results were really surprising. And our results are the first to show that very young infants have a sense that when other people are counting it is tied to the rough dimension of quantity in the world.”

The team is now conducting several follow-up studies, trying to determine if early counting practice leads to later number skills land if English-speaking babies react to counting in a foreign language.

NEWS Hyde Park School of Dance Combines Hip Hop, Ballet And Modern Dance In The Nutcracker Hyde Park School of Dance (HPSD) brings together fans of ballet, modern, and hip hop with its annual presentation of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, with more than 175 dancers—primarily children ages 7 to 18.

The cast includes weekly students and members of the school’s pre-professional Studio Company and features high school seniors who have grown up at the school, all supported by hundreds of volunteers.

Performances are December 13–15 at Mandel Hall on the University of Chicago campus, 1131 E. 57th Street, Chicago.

Staged by HPSD’s founding Artistic Director August Tye, longtime ballet mistress for Lyric Opera of Chicago, the 90-minute narrated production follows Clara, Fritz, and the mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer from the family holiday party and a midnight battle between the Nutcracker’s toy soldiers and the Mouse Queen’s squeaky troops through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets.

Unlike other versions of this holiday classic, HPSD includes a breakdance battle to showcase the range of dance genres the school offers while

sending a message of peace—instead of battling with swords, mice and soldiers tap into the power of hip hop to work out their differences through creative self-expression.

Prior to each performance, the Pre-Ballet Holiday Show showcases some of the school’s younger ballet students in performance. Dancers ages 4 to 7 from HPSD’s Pre-Ballet classes will warm up the stage in what is for many of them their first-ever performance.

The production also features surprise cameos by local VIPs in the larger-than-life role of Mother Ginger. This year’s Mother Gingers include longtime HPSD parent and past board member Jana French and founding/honorary board member Marilyn Sheperd, whose daughters, Allyson and Gayle Ratliff, are on HPSD’s faculty. Previous guest performers have included Hyde Park Herald Editor Daschell Phillips, Montgomery Place board chair Mike McGarry, former Kenwood Academy High School Principal Dr. Gregory Jones, 5th Ward Alderman Leslie Hairston, former State Representative Kimberly DuBuclet, and Court Theatre Artistic Director Charles Newell.

Adding a special element to the performance experience, HPSD’s

The Holiday Bazaar takes place Saturday, December 14 from noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday, December 15 from noon to 5 p.m.

The Nutcracker takes place Friday, December 13 at 7 p.m.; Saturday,

December 14 at 1 and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, December 15 at 2 p.m. at Mandel Hall, 1131 E. 57th Street, in Chicago.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors (65+), $10 for children ages 6-18 and for students with school ID, and free for children 5 and younger.

Special $40 reserved tickets are available for audience members of all ages.

COMMENTARY

Holiday Consumerism: Who Decides What “Nobody Really Needs?”

BY THOMAS L. KNAPP

“Wasting resources, capital and income on stuff nobody really needs,” Charles Hugh Smith wrote in 2017, “is a monumental disaster on multiple fronts. Rather than establish incentives to conserve and invest wisely, our system glorifies waste and the destruction of income and capital, as if burning time, capital, resources and wealth on stuff nobody needs is strengthening the economy.”

I come across the “stuff nobody needs” argument frequently, from voices all across the political spectrum, for reasons ranging from economic to environmental to spiritual.

I also notice that in the featured portrait on Smith’s blog, he’s holding what appears to be a pretty sweet Gibson Les Paul electric guitar.

Does anyone “really need” an electric guitar?

Presumably Smith believes he needs one.

Maybe even an authentic Les Paul. Maybe even more than one guitar (like the Fender Stratocaster or clone thereof pictured elsewhere on his site).

And who has the right to veto his judgment on the issue, so long as the “resources, capital and income” he’s “wasting” on it are his own?

I settled for an inexpensive Epiphone model of the Les Paul for my own, perhaps larger than justifiable, guitar collection (my wife frowned at the price tag of the genuine Gibson).

I wouldn’t dream of claiming that my “need” for a Les Paul is more urgent than, say, a starving child’s need for a hot meal or a homeless person’s need for shelter.

On the other hand, my purchase of that guitar helped create paychecks that put meals

in bellies and roofs over heads.

Economic demands are mutually self-fulfilling. Your purchase of a cup of fancy coffee puts caffeine in your bloodstream and money in the pockets of those who brought it to you — money they can spend fulfilling THEIR needs.

The same thing goes for planes, trains, automobiles, electric guitars, and the latest slice-it, dice-it, cook-it contraptions you (yes, I know it’s you) buy after watching those cheesy infomercials.

Yes, large-scale consumer economies produce negative “externalities” such as environmental damage.

Yes, those externalities are bad things which a more just economic system would build back into prices so as to discourage “over-consumption” and/or encourage more efficient and less damaging production techniques.

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

Current economic systems, including all state regulatory schemes, be they called “capitalist,” or “socialist,” or some hybrid, tend to subsidize those externalities. You pay for them with your taxes, whether you actually buy the subsidized goods or not.

That being the case, there’s no reason to feel guilty for buying this year’s “frivolous” holiday gifts that “nobody really needs.” Not because holiday shopping “strengthens the economy,” but because you want to give them and the recipients want to get them.

PS: Santa, bring me a Gretsch, please.

BUSINESS Bank of America Makes $400,000 Investment Through Neighborhood Builders Program To Advance Economic Mobility in Chicago Bank of America recently announced it has awarded $200,000 in funding and leadership resources to both Chicago Scholars and Enlace Chicago as part of Bank’s signature Neighborhood Builders® program.

The nonprofits were selected as 2019 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders for their dedication to addressing issues fundamental to economic mobility across the Chicago area.

Chicago Scholars is making an impact by selecting, training and mentoring academically ambitious students from under-resourced communities to complete college and become the next generation of leaders.

Enlace Chicago is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of Little Village residents by fostering a safe and healthy environment and by championing opportunities for educational advancement and economic development.

As a Neighborhood Builder awardee, each organization also

receives a year of leadership training for the executive director and an emerging leader at the organization, a network of peer organizations across the U.S., and the opportunity to access capital to expand their impact.

Over the past 15 years, Bank of America has invested $240 million in 49 communities through Neighborhood Builders, partnering with more than 1,000 nonprofits and helping more than 2,000 nonprofit leaders strengthen their leadership skills.

“It’s amazing that after 15 years, our Neighborhood Builders program continues to drive such a significant impact throughout Chicagoland,” said Paul Lambert, Chicago market president, Bank of America. “Our Neighborhood Builders alumni play such an integral role in shaping their communities, and Chicago as a whole. It’s through programs like this that our nonprofit partners have the power to plan strategically for growth and longterm sustainability.”

Bank of America recently announced it has awarded $200,000 in funding and leadership resources to both Chicago Scholars and Enlace Chicago as part of Bank’s signature Neighborhood Builders® program.

Enlace Chicago convenes, organizes and builds the capacity of Little Village stakeholders to

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

confront systemic inequities and barriers to economic and social access. By definition, Enlace means ‘to bring together or connect’ and its partnerships include a wealth of community stakeholders and local, regional and national organizations and coalitions.

“My vision for Little Village is a united, safe community where families continuously invest and engage in their own development, and where our community finds opportunities for growth,” said Katya Nuques, executive director, Enlace Chicago. “As the leader of Enlace Chicago, I want that self-determination to be the engine that drives change; for our staff, participants, and the entire community.

The combination of funding and leadership development available through the Neighborhood Builders program makes it a unique opportunity, both today and for years to come.”

Chicago Scholars offers a unique seven-year, holistic program model to students who have demonstrated leadership in their schools, communities, or homes and are committed to furthering their education.

The nonprofit is proud to develop talented, diverse leaders by empowering academically ambitious students who will be the first in their families to attend college or are from underresourced communities in Chicago.

The programs help these students overcome systematic barriers to succeed in college and their

careers while preparing the city’s businesses and organizations for the next generation of leaders.

“I believe that education is not a merit of socioeconomic status, but a valuable resource to pull marginalized youth out of poverty and into leadership positions that positively influence their communities,” said Dominique Jordan Turner, CEO, Chicago Scholars. “We strive to position Chicago Scholars as an influencer and a convener. I want our organization and our peers to think about ourselves as part of the system that we want to – and can – change.”

Since 2004, through its Neighborhood Builders program, Bank of America has partnered with 32 nonprofits in Chicago, investing $6.4 million to provide financial education and economic mobility opportunities within the Chicago area.

The invitation-only program is highly competitive, and leading members of the community participated in a collaborative selection process to identify this year’s awardees.

Examples of the leadership training topics include human capital management, increasing financial sustainability, and storytelling. Neighborhood Builders is just one example of how Bank of America deploys capital in communities, builds cross-sector partnerships, and promotes socioeconomic progress as part of its approach to responsible growth.

About Red Clay Dance Company Red Clay Dance Company lives to awaken “glocal” change through creating, performing, and teaching dances of the African Diaspora—change that transforms cultural and socioeconomic inequities in our local and global community. Founder Vershawn Sanders-Ward conceived the idea of RCDC while on her first trip to Senegal, West Africa, when she became fascinated by the interconnectedness of dance and everyday life. The name Red Clay comes from her childhood memories of playing in red earth during her summers in Mobile, Alabama.

Fry Foundation, the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, the Springboard Foundation, the Polk Bros.

professionals from around the country who reflect the diversity and content of the museum as well as the homegrown pride and musical spirit of Nashville.

“As the first ever museum solely dedicated to the preservation and advancement of Black Music, we were very intentional about being relevant and inclusive when building the marketing team for our grand opening,” said H. Beecher Hicks, III, NMAAM president and CEO. “This museum tells the story of not only the musical contributions of Black people in America, but also the personal stories behind those who paved the way in creating these genres and making them global phenomena. We’re excited and encouraged that we have a diverse team of marketing professionals leading this project and that the team reflects both the content in the museum and the local Nashville community.”

Lead agency Authentique based in Atlanta, Georgia, has been working with NMAAM since 2017 and was officially named lead Agency of Record in July 2019.

The Millionaire Mastermind Academy, a leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the education, support and growth of women-owned business enterprises, will host its first annual 2019 Millionaire Mastermind Entrepreneur Summit and Awards Luncheon, Dec. 16.

Millionaire Mastermind Academy Hosts First Annual 2019 Entrepreneur Summit, December 16th The Millionaire Mastermind Academy, a leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the education, support and growth of women-owned business enterprises, will host its first annual 2019 Millionaire Mastermind Entrepreneur Summit and Awards Luncheon, Dec. 16 in Atlanta.

The Summit offers corporations, organizations and government entities the opportunity to reach more than 500 business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, while giving those same entrepreneurs an opportunity to network and learn from business leaders across multiple vertical markets.

During the event, $10,000 in seed money will be awarded to an aspiring entrepreneur who presents the most complete business pitch in the Millionaire Mastermind’s first-ever Pitch Competition.

“The Summit is a natural extension of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy,” said Dr.Velma Trayham, president and CEO of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy. “It’s an outstanding opportunity to not only recognize female business owners who are moving the needle in their businesses and communities, but to also provide a practical road map to aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them fulfill their economic goals and objectives.”

The Summit features a veritable “Who’s Who” of business, government, entertainment and philanthropic mavericks, including leading economist, educator and entrepreneur, Dr. Julianne Malveaux; Nancy Flake Johnson, CEO, Atlanta Urban League; comedian and talk show host, Kiana Dancie; Earnest Pugh, National Recording artist and entrepreneur; Catherine B. Horgan, CEO, Brand Aspirations; Nicole Durio, Madison Brothers, Consulting Group and many more.

Held at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency at 265 Peachtree St. NE, the Summit starts with registration

at 8 a.m., and in addition to the afternoon awards luncheon, features break-out workshops and seminars throughout the day with informative topics such as Access to Capital/Financial Literacy, Community Reinvestment: Public/Private Partnerships and Contracting Opportunities with Government Entities, to name a few.

Another key component of the Summit is a HBCU Start-Up Lab. Moderated by Dr. Malveaux, the objective of this segment is to educate, attract, mentor and develop college students who show a talent and desire to become successful entrepreneurs, but who lack the knowledge to get started.

Already reaching more than 4,600 women and helping 25 of them launch successful businesses, the Millionaire Mastermind Academy sees its work as life-changing.

Chicago – Chicago Theatre Week (#CTW20), an annual celebration of the rich tradition of theatre-going in Chicago during which visitors and residents can access value-priced tickets, will take place on February 13-23, 2020.

From joy to heartache and every feeling in between, Chicago theatre tells stories that evoke big emotions. Stories that take risks, inspire awe, ask tough questions – and dare audiences to do the same.

From musicals to plays to comedy, theatre is for everyone in Chicago. Chicago Theatre Week is a celebration of the stories we share.

Chicago Theatre Week, spanning a week and two full weekends, is heading into its eighth year.

As a program of the League of Chicago Theatres, in partnership with Choose Chicago, over 100 theatre productions are expected to participate in neighborhoods throughout the city and suburbs.

The value-priced CTW tickets will be $30, $15, or less. In early January 2020, tickets will go on sale and a list of participating productions will be available at ChicagoTheatreWeek.com.

Last year, in February 2019, 139 participating productions offered value-priced tickets to 593 individual performances during Chicago Theatre Week. The initiative continues to see increased sales year over year, with 12,700 Theatre Week tickets sold in 2019. Chicago Theatre Week brings in new audiences to area theatres with an average of 63% of attendees visiting their chosen theatre for the first time.

Theatre Week also proved to be a draw for visitors from outside Chicago with 17% of patrons coming from beyond 50 miles of the city, spanning 36 states and several countries.

“Each year, Chicago Theatre Week introduces audiences to incredible shows at great prices. It presents an opportunity for every visitor and every resident to experience new work, fresh talent, musicals, improv, and more,” comments Deb Clapp, executive director of the League of Chicago Theatres. “Theatre is something that sets Chicago apart from other cities and Chicago Theatre Week celebrates that distinction and welcomes everyone in.”

“Chicago, which is home to over 250 dynamic theatres, provides visitors more variety and creative platforms than any destination in the United States,” said

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

David Whitaker, president and CEO of Choose Chicago. “Perhaps more importantly, Chicago Theatre Week helps create a greater understanding of the yearround programming, opportunities and the amazing venues that call Chicago home.”

Chicago Theatre Week is presented by the League of Chicago Theatres in partnership with Choose Chicago.

Virtue® Hair Care Announces “Charlie’s Angels” Campaign to Benefit She’s the First Biotech hair care brand Virtue® has teamed up with “Charlie’s Angels” writer, director, producer, and actress Elizabeth Banks to launch a campaign with purpose to benefit She’s the First, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting gender inequality through education. The initiative was announced on Instagram recently with an inaugural post by Banks, featuring celebrity hairstylist and Virtue Creative Director, Adir Abergel.

In partnership with Redcarpet ADvocacy (RAD), Virtue and the “Charlie’s Angels” cast will work together to increase awareness and raise money to support She’s the First’s efforts to empower girls globally.

“I wanted to make ‘Charlie’s Angels’ to show women as the powerful human beings we are—so I’m proud to partner with RAD and Virtue hair care to help drive that message home and to educate and empower young girls by supporting She’s the First,” Banks said.

Getting involved is as simple as a selfie. Support the cause by posting and tagging photos of the “Angels” in your life on Instagram using #ShesTheFirst #CharliesAngels #withVIRTUE #radvocacy and visiting shesthefirst.org to make a donation.

Supporters can also use the Instagram

donation sticker to give and encourage others to join the movement.

“We’re very excited to partner with Elizabeth and all these talented, powerful women for this important cause,” said Melisse Shaban, founder and CEO of Virtue. “To see a film of this scale written, produced, and starring all women is super encouraging and inspiring. We’re proud to be working with She’s the First to help young girls become the strong, powerful women, the ‘Angels’ of tomorrow.”

“As a hairstylist, I am surrounded by powerful women, and my work is all about helping them feel even more confident,” said Abergel. “I was excited when I heard about this incredible campaign that my friend Elizabeth Banks and RAD put together to make sure girls are educated, respected, and heard. I was humbled to bring my Virtue family in as well because our CEO and founder has always been committed to supporting causes that empower women.”

To reinforce the importance of the cause, Virtue will donate $1 for every order made through www.virtuelabs.com to She’s the First through Giving Tuesday (December 3, 2019).

GLO Fights Salon Waste Through Innovative Recycling Program Launching January 2020 GLO™ (Green Life Organization) will reduce the 877 pounds of waste created each minute by the beauty industry using innovative recycling solutions and making sustainability accessible for salons nationwide.

Salon owners can join the waitlist to become part of the GLO community, which features a customizable salon recycling service. GLO aims to grant hard-to-recycle items, including hair, foils, gloves and more, a Second Life® that reduces landfill waste.

“When first developing GLO, we listened to what salon owners told us about feeling uncertain in finding the right recycling company and how their salon waste would actually be recycled,” says Tonya Martin, vice president of business development for GLO. “Still, we knew our business could take on the logistical challenges of salon recycling while ensuring 100% of salon waste was given a Second Life®.”

With over 80,000 establishments

nationwide in the salon professional industry, bringing in $20 billion dollars a year in revenue, GLO provides the opportunity to cast a wide net and service the community on a national scale, while also guaranteeing that zero waste will end up in landfills.

“We know how busy owners are and that finding a full-service recycling solution requires extensive research, so we built this easy-to-understand program,” says Martin. “GLO allows salon owners to ‘set it and forget it’ by setting up a monthly service subscription. Their customer dashboard will then provide stepby-step instructional videos, making it quick and easy for everyone to learn. GLO gives salons owners the opportunity to recycle beautifully while enhancing their culture of sustainability.”

The waitlist is now open to become a GLO salon with the full program launching in January 2020. Owners

who sign up will gain access to customizable monthly subscriptions, with first shipment scheduled for January 2020. GLO salons and their professionals will also receive a Certificate of Recycling that demonstrates their commitment to the environment.

For more information on GLO, please visit https://glorecycling.com/.

About GLO™ GLO™ (Green Life Organization) provides a zero-landfill recycling solution for the salon industry. GLO offers a subscription service for salon professionals with a variety of recycling options including hair recycling, mixed recycling, aerosol recycling and flammable recycling. The Certificate of Recycling verifies that no items will end up in a landfill and will instead be granted a Second Life®.

The brand also commits to donating at least 1% of all sales to environmental non-profit partners. GLO is fueled by its parent company, g2 revolution®. www.citizennewspapergroup.com

Luseta Beauty’s Perfect Bonding Collection Encourages Everyone to Explore Self-Care Starting with Hair Luseta Beauty is launching its Perfect Bonding Collection: a three step hair care treatment allowing users to achieve salon grade bonding treatments at home. Luseta is also encouraging women to rethink hair and self-care with a social media campaign featuring #BondedWithLuseta.

The Perfect Bonding Collection features a series of shampoo, conditioner, and restoring leave-in cream all formulated to help repair hair damage from heat or chemicals. “Bonding treatments at salons are becoming more popular now,” stated Luseta Beauty representative, B.H. “But could take a lot of time and money. Salon treatments are also mostly unavailable to everyday customers, because they are hard to use without professional supervision. We created this line so everyone can have a hassle-free hair care routine at home that performs just as well as professional treatments.”

Luseta Beauty encourages customers to share their hair care and self-care journey on social media with #BondedWithLuseta. B.H. explains the concept behind the campaign: “Our marketing team has found that women feel like they don’t treat themselves well enough. It’s not that they don’t want to. They just don’t have the tools to do so. With this collection, we hope to help people realize that they don’t need to compromise quality in order to take care of their hair. We hope that thoughtful hair care regimes can be the first step to inspiring many on their mind and body care journey.”
