In fact, 45% of classes started last week, and August 26th marked our largest single day for activations ever! Teams across Cengage Group are focused on taking share, growing the business, supporting our customers and ensuring our systems are running as expected. And – although these weeks are busy – US HED Sales teams are finding joy in being on campus, connecting with students and educators, and seeing the impact of our work up close. Across every team, the collaboration, support and commitment to our customers and employees is evident and inspiring.

Employees based in Farmington Hills, MI, made the most of the beautiful summer weather during their "Break by the Lake" picnic. It was a fantastic turnout, with many local employees gathering to unwind and enjoy the company of their peers. The picnic took place at Lakeshore Park, offering a picturesque setting with a beach, nature trails, and 10 miles of biking trails. The event also featured some friendly competition, with colleagues engaging in classic yard games like Jenga and Connect 4. Reflecting on the event, Natalie Hamlin, Sales Enablement Specialist and organizer of the picnic, shared, “I was thrilled to see such a great turnout. Especially in a remote work environment, in-person events like these are incredibly important to our company culture. These moments remind us of the power of face-to-face interactions and the sense of community they foster.” #employeeengagement #teamwork #remotework

Last week we launched our GenAI-powered Student Assistant in beta, a revolutionary tool designed to empower students and enhance learning experiences! 🤖 With over 5,000 students having the opportunity to test this fall, we are taking a thoughtful, research-driven approach to address real-world challenges faced by educators and students. Our unique technology guides students through the learning process, providing just-in-time feedback, access to relevant resources and fostering critical thinking. It does not simply provide answers but supports students in understanding concepts and arriving at correct solutions.

Our beauty and wellness education brand, Milady, has earned a reputation as the industry standard for beauty and wellness schools, which allows us to closely collaborate with exam developers. Recently, Academic Development Manager, Lisha Barnes, and Industry Relations Manager, Jessica George, recently attended workshops with an exam provider to ensure the alignment of licensure exam questions with our textbooks' content. Additionally, the National Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology - NIC, responsible for standardizing testing requirements, now promotes Milady on its homepage, guiding users to the NIC bookstore for relevant Milady resources. While NIC and Milady have a rich history, this new promotion placement helps to further our brand’s visibility and enhances industry and school success rates by providing clear guidance on study materials for licensure exams. SVP and GM of Milady, Sandra Bruce, shared, “I am proud of this longstanding relationship. NIC's focus on professionalizing the organization and collaborating across all states to share best practices strengthens the beauty industry and helps us all push forward.” #education #collaboration #cosmetology
