Business First's 40 Under 40 Class of 2017 announced – here are the honorees - Columbus - Columbus Business First

Universities and their graduates should reflect their cities and neighborhoods, helping to lift them up. We’re proud of two alumni being celebrated in Columbus Business First's 40 Under 40. Congrats to Calvin Cooper '11, financial economics major and religion minor, and Elizebeth Maag L'08, JD, for your accomplishments in work, life and community. Remembered by professors as bright and hardworking, Cooper was active in undergrad research — one of only 75 students nationwide chosen for the prestigious Posters on the Hill. Today, he’s director of NCT Ventures. Maag is active in the professional network that helps prepare Capital University Law School students for practice as general counsel at CrossChx. She’s also the site coordinator at Cross Chx for Capital’s externship program, which develops law students’ practical skills and professional development through experiential learning.

5 of the best cities for college grads starting their careers

Columbus makes another Best-Of list. "Columbus is home to rising job growth, a cost of living well below the national average, and the world’s largest private research foundation, among other notable institutions." We would add our built-in #CapFam network!

Capital University Law School Commencement

We're From Capital (Capital's Story, Created and Told By Us)

Capital University has a powerful story to tell, and our best storytellers are from Capital. They’re the alumni, students, faculty, employers and community partners who bring our story to life every day when they live, learn and lead with purpose. So we asked them to help create this video. This is Capital’s story, created and told by us. Music by Columbus-based band Kid Runner, which was born out of Capital’s Conservatory of Music. Kurt Keaner, Fran Litterski and Scott Griffin, Class of 2011. Voice over and engineering talent: Jenna Jaworski, a junior majoring in music technology, with a digital media minor, from Norwalk, Ohio. Recorded in Studio F, located in Capital’s Convergent Media Center, by Andy Salend, sophomore, a music technology major from Boston, and Mike Molaskey, a first-year music technology major from New Brehman, Ohio, with help from Neal Schmitt and Chad Loughrige, music technology professors. Betsy Pike ’04, communication professor, and Dan Stemen ’16 helped us helped find the right voice for this project. Production: Fahlgren Mortine, an award-winning integrated marketing and communications agency known for attracting top talent, including many Capital graduates and interns.
