Gen Z Entrepreneurs View Higher Education as Vital to Their Startups By Eric J. Barron The Conversation
Today’s college students — dubbed Generation Z — are beginning to make their mark on the workplace with a distinctly unconventional and often irreverent approach to problem-solving. In my day-to-day interactions with our students, I find that this group doesn’t only ask “Why?” they ask, “How can I fix that?” And their curiosity, independence, energy and assertiveness are transforming the entrepreneurial space. These post-millennials are less like the bumbling geeks from the cast of the HBO comedy “Silicon Valley” and more in the spirit of a focused problem-solver like a young MacGyver, who would rather invent and innovate as a means to learning and discovery. What’s energizing to a university president like me is watching this transformation take place as more and more undergraduates are partnering with public institutions and fueling the next wave of ingenuity. Entrepreneurship 101 A 2011 survey by Gallup found 77 percent of students in grades 5 through 12 said they want to be their own boss and 45 percent planned to start their own business. Today, many of those students are now in college. For example, when I first met Hunter Swisher as an undergraduate plant pathology student at Penn State, he was busy turning scientific turfgrass research that he learned about in class into a commercial product and startup company. Swisher saw commercial potential in his professor’s research and worked closely with him to transfer that knowledge into a possible viable product. Swisher connected with the university’s startup incubator and vast alumni network, put in the work, and became a CEO of his own small business before he walked across the stage at commencement in 2016. Today, his company Phospholutions has five employees and counting and their treatment is being used on more than 50 golf courses in 10 states. Swisher is not alone in pursuing his entrepreneurial dreams while still in college. He is just one of many entrepreneurs starting their own companies by leveraging resources at their colleges and universities. Penn State, Indiana University, University of North Carolina, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, Ohio State and other leading public institutions all have thriving entrepreneurial centers that are available to all students, as well as community members and businesses. Penn State alone has opened 21 entrepreneurial spaces across Pennsylvania, and in just two years, we’ve engaged with more than 4,500 students. Moving scientific discoveries into a breakthrough business opportunity is powering economic growth and creating jobs. Consider that nationally — in 2017 alone — the Association of University Technology Managers reported: • $68.2 billion in research expenditures • 1,080 startups formed • 24,998 invention disclosures • 15,335 new U.S. patent applications filed • 7,849 licenses and options executed • 755 new products created Undergraduate Students at Public Universities Are Fueling This Trend Traditionally, higher education has focused their investment on faculty entrepreneurs, hoping to find a breakthrough like the next Gatorade (University of Florida) or Lyrica (Northwestern University). Since universities don’t own the rights to undergraduate intellectual property, there has been less incentive to support these efforts. Until now. While we universities are taking a risk on students without a

guaranteed immediate return on investment, we think the potential outcomes — for example in alumni support and building our local economies — are worth it. With their minds set on this entrepreneurial future, a com-mon narrative has emerged that students are skipping college to start their own businesses. In reality, eight in 10 students believe college is important to achieving their career goals. Sixty-three percent of those same students — all between the ages of 16 and 19 — said they want to learn about entrepreneurship in college, including how to start a business. Land-grant and public institutions are contributing the practical education that can contribute to economic growth and development. Indeed, generally speaking talent-driven innovation was identified as the most important factor by the Deloitte-U.S. Council on Competitiveness. Through skills training and engaged entrepreneurial experiences, students are realizing the profound impact they can have by solving a problem as well as overcoming obstacles, failures and flops – all under the umbrella of university guidance and resource support.
Innovation Is Inspiring and a Wise Investment Research and education have always opened doors that benefit the nation we serve. Today, public colleges and universities are well-positioned to transform our economy and infuse it with innovation and energy. As chair of the Association of Public & Land-grant Universities (APLU) newly formed Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE), I’m working with universities and our government partners to identify key areas crucial to maximizing the impact of public research universities. By the end of this year, tens of millions of Generation Zers will enter the workforce. The challenge for higher education will be how to help the world of business to better harness the many talents, energy and inquisitiveness that Generation Zers bring to the table. The many partnerships that universities have formed with entrepreneurial students serve as an important first step toward this goal.

City to Guarantee Health Care for All, Even Undocumented De Blasio Says $100 Million Cost ‘Will Save Money In the Long Run’ By Mary Frost
Brooklyn PHOENIX
The bold plan will cost the city taxpayers $100 million a year, but Mayor Bill de Blasio says “multiple times that amount” would be spent in the future without his new plan. In a surprise announcement, the mayor says the city will guarantee health care to every resident, regardless of their ability to pay or their immigration status. The new program, called NYC Care, will cover roughly the 600,000 city residents without insurance, roughly half of whom are undocumented immigrants. The program will save the city money down the road, the mayor said at a press conference at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx yesterday. “It’s going to revolutionize the approach, because you know what people are doing now, Joe? They’re going to the emergency room,” de Blasio told Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program. “That is the default health care provider for so many people in this country. It is the worst way to get health care. It’s the most expensive way to get health care.” The program is not only moral, but it makes sense economically, de Blasio said. “We’re already paying an exorbitant amount to provide health care the wrong way and to wait until people are really sick ... and end up in that emergency room, when what we should be doing is helping them get the primary care.” In a release yesterday, de Blasio said the program, which is not health insurance, would work in two ways. The city will improve NYC’s public health insurance option, MetroPlus, and also guarantee that anyone ineligible for insurance has direct access to NYC Health + Hospitals’ physicians, pharmacies and mental health and substance abuse services. All services will
be available on a sliding scale and will be free to those who can’t afford to pay. Residents will be able to use city-sponsored call lines to make appointments with general practitioners, cardiologists, pediatricians, gynecologists and a full spectrum of health care services, the mayor said. “This plan will literally say, ‘Here’s a primary care doctor, here’s a person you can see is now going to be your doctor on a regular basis, and if you need something else, especially service, here’s how you get it,’” de Blasio told Scarborough. De Blasio said no new taxes would go to fund the program. “This is something we’re going to pay for through our public health care system because we’re making it a priority,” he said. In recent years, New York state has pushed to restructure health care so as to emphasize primary care services to reduce dependence on emergency care. A study carried out by the state in 2013 found that the majority of ER visits were for conditions that could have been treated or prevented through access to “high quality primary care settings.” NYC Care will launch in summer 2019 in the Bronx and then roll out across the city, becoming available to all five boroughs by 2021. De Blasio emphasized that health care “is a right, not a privilege,” drawing the line between the city and the Trump administration, which has been working to dismantle Obamacare. A long list of officials backed the plan. Dr. Mitchell Katz, president and CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals, said in a statement that NYC Care will be “the biggest and most comprehensive health coverage program in the country.” “Expanding enrollment in MetroPlus and providing affordable care through NYC Care regardless of insurance means that more New Yorkers will get the comprehensive services that they need,” Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon ( D-Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill) said in a statement. The city’s thousands of taxi drivers also came out in favor of the program.
Here’s a Look At the Public Advocate Race By The Numbers

“Most of New York City’s professional drivers already rely on Health and Hospitals clinics and hospitals for primary care and emergency services. This initiative can fill voids that still exist in access to care and will be a lifeline for New Yorkers who, like many of our members, don’t qualify for Medicaid but still can’t afford premiums,” said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of 21,000-member New York Taxi Workers Alliance, which represents yellow, green, App, livery and black car drivers. But not everyone applauded the program. Yesterday, Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis (R-Bay Ridge, Staten Island), criticized de Blasio for devoting taxpayer money to the
health care of undocumented immigrants. “As property taxes continue to rise at an unprecedented and unsustainable speed, impacting homeowners and renters alike, Mayor de Blasio continues to look for ways to spend their hard earned money by placing a heavier burden on the hardworking taxpayers of this city,” she said in a statement. She added, “Our citizens have a hard enough time covering their own health care costs, and now Mayor de Blasio also wants them to pay for the health care of 300,000 citizens of other countries. The mayor must stop abusing the middle class and treating us like his personal ATM.”

With the date set for the special election for New York City public advocate, here’s a look at some of the numbers surrounding the hot button race. Officials at the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) said the candidates are facing strict deadlines for registering their bids for the office, as well as deadlines for filing paperwork to qualify for matching public funds. Here are some of the relevant numbers to look out for as the election approaches: The first is 26. As in Feb. 26. That’s the date Mayor Bill de Blasio set as the date for the special election to fill the public advocate seat left vacant when Democrat Letitia James was elected New York state attorney general. The mayor signed a proclamation last week setting the wheels in motion. “We chose this date to maximize voter participation,” de Blasio said when he signed the proclamation. The public advocate’s job is to serve as a watchdog over city government and to work as an ombudsman on behalf of city residents. The advocate is also the first in the line of succession for mayor. The person holding the office can introduce legislation in the City Council and can file lawsuits on behalf of the city. The salary is $184,800 a year. The public advocate’s office operates with an annual budget of $3 million. The number 15 million is another one to remember. The special election is likely to cost New York City $15 million, according to most estimates. But also pay attention to the number 11. According to the CFB, all candidates looking to run for public advocate must register with the board. Candidates who want to participate in public financing are required to submit a certification form to the CFB by Friday, Jan. 11. By now, the candidates are familiar with the numbers 14 and 3,750.
Jan. 14 is the deadline for candidates to submit signatures on nominating petitions to the New York City Board of Elections get on the ballot. Candidates must submit at least 3,750 signatures. The Board of Elections will certify the ballot during the last week of January. Five lawmakers from Brooklyn and Queens are among those who have announced their candidacies: Brooklyn Councilmembers Rafael Espinal and Jumaane Williams, Brooklyn Assemblymember Latrice Walker, Queens Assemblymember Ron Kim and Queens Councilmember Eric Ulrich. Former City Council speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, radio personality Curtis Sliwa, Upper Manhattan Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez, Bronx Assemblymember Michael Blake and Manhattan Assemblymember Daniel O’Donnell are also among those running. Because special elections in New York City are nonpartisan affairs, candidates cannot run as Democrats or Republicans. Instead, they must create their own parties. Mark-Viverito is running on the “Fix the MTA” party line. In a move that is sure to gain attention, Sliwa is running under the “Fire Me” party. Bob Capano, chairman of the Brooklyn Reform Party and an
ally of Sliwa’s, said the name is no accident. Sliwa “is the only candidate saying he will shut down the office and fire himself if elected,” Capano told the Brooklyn Eagle. Another important number is 8. This election will also mark the first time candidates can choose to take part in the city’s brand new public financing program that provides an $8-$1 match of public funds to privately raised funds. The candidates can choose to participate in the new program, stick with the old program (which provided a $6-$1 match) or opt out of public financing altogether. In order to receive matching funds, candidates must raise a minimum of $62,500 from at least 500 contributors who must be New York City residents. For candidates who choose the new funding program, only the first $250 in campaign contributions counts towards the $62,500 threshold. Candidates taking part in the old program should know that only the first $175 count toward the threshold. And finally, there’s the number 2. The CFB announced that there will be two debates in February to give candidates the opportunity to make their pitch to voters. Friday, January 11, 2019 • Brooklyn Phoenix • 3

The labor union representing theatrical performers is demanding that its members no longer participate in any developmental stage work with commercial producers, putting Broadway’s pipeline of new musicals and plays under threat. Actors’ Equity, which represents more than 51,000 actors and stage managers nationwide, declared the strike Monday after two years of fruitless negotiations with the producer-led Broadway League to increase minimum salaries for developmental labs and eventually share any profits with lab participants. In labs, actors and writers test out material for shows in progress. They’ve been used to create “The Cher Show,” ‘’To Kill a Mockingbird,” ‘’Hello, Dolly!” and “Waitress.” The union has been making its case via social media, using the hashtag #NotALabRat. The strike comes as Broadway finished 2018 with the highest grosses on record.

January Calendar of Events Week of the 10th to 16th
Art SCORING THE STACKS Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s Scoring the Stacks is a sprawling participatory public art exhibition at Brooklyn Public Library that invites you to experience the library anew through a series of artistdesigned actions and related artist-led workshops. At the heart of Scoring the Stacks are a series of scores, or language-based artworks, drawing on the traditions of musical notation, conceptual art, and constrained writing techniques. Rasheed’s scores invite participants to widely interpret a set of instructions as they roam the library space. Located in the middle of the Grand Lobby at Central branch, the scores, crafted for each
division of the library, appear on brightly-colored cards with simple instructions that invite non-linear and chance-based pathways through the library’s stacks, collections, and books. Participants are invited to leave carbon copies of their notations behind and to gather together the cards in a folio they can take away and keep. Embracing chance, inquiry, and openendedness as opportunities to grapple with our relationships to ways of knowing, Scoring the Stacks asks us to consider the generative potential of wander and play. Come meet the artist before you score the stacks. When: Saturday, January 12th, 2 – 4 p.m. Where: Grand Army Plaza/ Central Library (10 Grand Army Plaza)

“
INGENIOUS BUBBLE WIZARDRY.” -THE NEW YORKER
LET’S TRY LISTENING AGAIN: 13TH A.I.R. BIENNIAL This biennial exhibition starts where its open call ended: with the sentence “Let’s try listening again.” Echoing a contemporary sentiment, this title voices an urge to stop the treadmill of self-same thought and perceive what is near, around, yet not always seen. It highlights a pause for respect and discovery that is necessary to imagine new, relevant relations— whether social, intellectual, emotional, or cosmic. The point being: we can’t know everything, but still we need to envision novel forms of communing. The exhibition brings together two performances, two distributed projects, and twenty-five works for the gallery by participating artists far and wide. The catalogue takes the form of a website that can produce encoded PDF communiqués around the thematics of this year’s biennial. When; Wednesdays-Sundays through February 3rd, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/A.I.R. Gallery (155 Plymouth Street)
ROUGH EDGES: ELISE SIEGEL A solo show of ceramic sculpture by Elise Siegel. In this exhibition, a large gathering of Siegel’s idiosyncratic and psychologically expressive portrait busts inhabit the gallery. Although each bust is a distinct individual, they are not portraits of specific persons. Rather, they are embodiments of familiar emotional states — fleeting moments of inner conflict, disquiet, ambivalence and unease. As such, they exude an uncanny sense of vulnerability and project an interiority that creates a psychological tension.

MUSIC AS WEAPON Music and sound are powerful tools of communication and expression. Music has long been used to express emotions, such as joy or sorrow, as well as reflections of unrequited love or worship of a deity. Music can also serve as a weapon or form of torture. For
example, sound played at loud decibels may instigate physical pain and cause irrecoverable damage to the mechanisms of the ear. Constant noise or the repetitive playing of a song over extended periods of time can cause psychological torture by disorienting and exhausting the listener. This class will investigate the ways music has been used as a weapon as well as the uniqueness of sound as both inescapable, as the listener cannot easily close their ears, and covert, a perceived type of “no-touch torture” that leaves behind little to no traceable mark on the outward appearance of the physical body. When: Tuesday, January 15th, 6:30 -8 p.m. Where: Prospect Heights/ Brooklyn Brainery (190 Underhill Avenue)

posed for photos on the cyclists’ side of the promenade. The bikers we saw carefully, respectfully made their way around the folks on foot. People smiled and had a great time. The situation was scarily different back on Dec. 29, when the city was full of vacationers. So many visitors crowded onto the Brooklyn Bridge that they wound up in a motionless mass for a good long while. Police cut off pedestrian access to the bridge for a short time that day, Gothamist reported. The photos folks tweeted from the normally scenic span were disturbing — with wallto-wall people squeezed between the fence enclosing the promenade. Fortunately, nobody panicked and started a stampede.
According to the 1883 Eagle story, many pedestrians on the bridge during the disaster were returning home to Manhattan after visits to Brooklyn cemeteries.
The carnage began on a crowded staircase on the Manhattan side of the bridge. A woman

Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Congestion Eases After the Holidays — Continued from page 11INB — holding a child fainted and fell, and a man fell on top of her. People who couldn’t see what had happened “became panic stricken with the idea that the bridge had broken,” the story says. Among the deceased was Margaret Sullivan, age 15, who “fell under the feet of the struggling throng and was taken out dead” because her father failed to save her, the Eagle story says. He had handed over her younger sister Kate to somebody else, and Kate survived. A surgeon at Chambers Street Hospital, where the dead were taken, said most apparently suffocated or succumbed to internal injuries.
It needs to be safe even when crowds swell in late December because people from all over the world come to our city to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Pedestrians need more room on the bridge. So do cyclists. We’re ardently hoping the city decides to expand the bridge promenade, which would be a step in the right direction. A city Department of Transportation report about the promenade published in December 2017 recommended a two-year inspection of bridge cables to figure out if they can bear the extra weight of a larger promenade. A Transportation Department spokesperson cited in Gothamist’s story about the Dec. 29 bridge overcrowding said the inspection is expected to start this year.
PLEASE MAKE THE ROEBLINGS’ MASTERWORK MORE PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY Now, back to the present day. The Brooklyn Bridge has been a city landmark since 1967. It is the borough’s Number 1 tourist attraction. It is arguably Brooklyn’s most beautiful structure. As the first bridge to connect Brooklyn and Manhattan, its historic importance is huge. John Roebling, his son Washington Roebling and Washington’s wife Emily Warren Roebling spearheaded its construction between 1867 and 1883. Its granite towers’ Gothic arches are iconic and Instagram-worthy. The 1.1-mile bridge needs to be a safe place for pedestrians and bike riders — every day of the year.
This spot on the Brooklyn Bridge is Selfie Central.

Obituary Eddie Soubhi (Ibn Farjallah) Kochakji June 4, 1921 — December 18, 2018 On December 18, 2018, Eddie Soubhi (Ibn Farjallah) Kochakji, otherwise known as Eddie “the Sheik”(from Zorba the Greek) passed away at the age of 97 years. He was born on June 4, 1921 and lived his entire life steps away from where he was born in Brooklyn Heights. He always said “I was born to make people happy”and that he did! The laughter and joy he brought to many through his drumming, singing and his great sense of humor will be sorely missed. He was known world wide for his contribution of his unique sound of AmerAbic music he created with his partner Hakki Obadia. He received hundreds of letters from around the world expressing appreciation of him and his music. Eddie entertained the troops in Europe and the Middle East during WWII where his Sergeant gave him the name, “The Sheik”his trademark ever since. Back in the day, he lead a 15 piece orchestra, and appeared with icons such as Danny Thomas and Dean Martin. “Uncle Eddie” was proud of playing percussion for Anthony Quinn in the Broadway play, “Zorba”. The Shish Kebab Rock was one of the many produced recordings,the family enjoyed singing at gatherings. “Jazz in Port Said” was just incorporated into a box set Rhum, Rhapsodies and other Exotic Delights. Hundreds of belly dancers are inspired to dance and teach to his music with his “Strictly Belly Dancing“ series. Eddie was a staple and a popular attraction at the Atlantic Antics street fair in Brooklyn for over 30 years. More importantly, he was loved by his family. He was preceded in death by his siblings Pauline, George, Joe and Victor. He will always be remembered fondly as “Uncle Eddie” to his many nieces and nephews and their families on the east and west coasts . He brought much joy, love and fun to his family, friends and neighbors.
A Memorial Service will be held 12:00 on January 26th at the Church of Virgin Mary, 216 8th Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11215. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to St. Jude’s Hospital

taxes, accounting & bookkeeping Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from Jan. 7, 1933 ON JAN. 7, 1933, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “The New York Stock Exchange, the Curb and other exchanges in the city were closed today as a mark of respect for former President Calvin Coolidge, whose funeral began in Northampton, Mass., at 10:30 a.m. Business firms, including the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and its subsidiaries, were similarly closed. In courts, in public offices as well as in factories, business offices, theaters and even homes, a period of silence was observed as the Northampton funeral began. At sunrise, 7:20 a.m., one cannon salute was fired at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. At 8 o’clock one of the five ships in the harbor responded and at 8:30 a.m. a gun from another of the ships boomed out. By order of the Navy Yard commandant, the ships in the Navy Yard will take turns, firing their big guns at half-hour intervals until sunset. Similarly guns were to be fired at half-hour intervals at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N.J., and by Navy ships at sea. At the Navy Yard, at Lakehurst and at Naval and Coast Guard posts all along the coast and throughout the country flags were at half-mast. These were the outward marks of a 30-day period of mourning ordered by President [Herbert] Hoover.”

PEST CONTROL
“Our Alternative Methods Are Environmentally Safe”
Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from Jan. 9, 1948 ON JAN. 9, 1948, the Eagle reported, “Jerusalem, Jan. 9 (U.P.) — Arab expeditionary forces, perhaps 2,000 strong, invaded Palestine from the Levant in a number of border crossings today and stormed scattered Jewish towns in the face of strong resistance by British Army and Jewish defense units. Reports from the northeastern tip of Palestine said some 800 Arabs swarmed across from Syria at 8 a.m. today and laid siege to the settlements of Dan and Kefar Szold. British soldiers from border posts and Hagana groups converged on the area and engaged the Arabs in fighting on a scale not made clear immediately. The British were reported firing into the ranks of the Arabs with light artillery. An official announcement said British troops ‘succeeded in bringing the situation under control’ after ‘a large number of Arabs attacked.’” ON JAN. 9, 1843, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Amusing typographical blunders will now and then occur in spite of the best proof readers. The Belknap (New Hampshire) Gazette speaks of General McNeil as the ‘gallant bottle-scarred solider.’ The writer probably intended to say ‘battle-scarred.’”

Fun Facts About New Year’s Resolutions
• Americans alone drink an estimated 360 million bottles of champagne which is ironic considering that cutting back on alcohol consumption is consistently the second most popular resolution made. • Dry January, aka ditching alcohol in the first month of the new year, is an annual tradition and part of a New Year’s resolution to drink less. Some people claim it’s a way to “detox” from excessive drinking over the holidays—but all swear that it’s going to do beneficial things for their health. • Consider the New Year to be a new LEASE on life? According to statistics from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, more vehicles are stolen on New Year’s Day than on any other holiday throughout the year.

• In Colombia, Cuba and Puerto Rico families stuff a life-size male doll called Mr. Old Year with memories of the outgoing year and dress him in old clothes from each family member. At midnight he is set on fire - thus burning away the bad memories of the year. • In Italy, people wear red underwear on New Year’s Day as a symbol of good luck for the upcoming year.

Baron Kurt von Lersner, the head of the German Mission, affixed his signature to the protocol at 4 o’clock. The document provides for reparation for the sinking of the German warships at Scapa Flow and to insure the carrying out of the armistice terms. The Treaty of Versailles, making peace between Germany and the ratifying Allied powers, was put into effect at 4:15 o’clock by the exchange of ratifications. ON JAN. 10, 1917, the Eagle reported from Denver, “Col. William Frederick Cody (Buffalo Bill), soldier, hunter and scout, died at 12:05 p.m. here today, at the home of his sister. He was 70 years old. At 11 o’clock this morning, Dr. J.H. East, Colonel Cody’s physician said: ‘Col. Cody is dying. He is sinking rapidly. He cannot last over three or four hours.’ Col. Cody suffered a general breakdown recently and failed rapidly, until the end came. With Col. Cody when he died were his wife and daughter, who had hurried down from Cody, Wyo., the family home, last week, to be at his bedside, and his sister, Mrs. L.E. Decker of Denver.”
