Data Analytics & Risk Management Pre-College Summer Programs for Teens at Bentley University Reply All Mar 12, 2026 1:23 PM  |    view attached Mingfei Li Dear colleagues and friends, Do you know a high schooler who is interested in data or math? Check out Bentley University's summer camp courses on Data Analytics and, new this summer, Quant Risk Management!  In the Data Analytics course, students will learn how to solve problems with the power of data. Through hands-on lessons, expert guest speakers, and working with real-world data using professional analytics software, students will learn not just how to analyze data, but how data can be used to solve problems, communicate to others, and help change the world.   In the Quant Risk Management course, students will dive into how organizations make smart decisions in the face of uncertainty. Through hands-on activities, real-world case studies, talks from industry professionals, and interactive skill-building workshops, students will explore how risks-from financial volatility to natural disaster threats-are identified, measured, and managed using quantitative tools.  Additionally, as part of our mission to create a fun and positive learning experience, both courses culminate in a capstone experience, where students work in teams to apply what they've learned in a real-world setting. Our courses are taught by full-time Bentley faculty in data analytics, actuarial science, and mathematics who are excited to share their expertise! Located in Waltham, Massachusetts, Bentley's pre-college programs also offer unique opportunities for high school students to experience residential college life. Students stay in a college dorm, eat in the dining halls, and build meaningful friendships both inside and outside the classroom. Students can gain valuable insights into their academic interests and career aspirations by immersing themselves in a rigorous and supportive learning environment. Four one-week sessions will be offered this summer: June 15th to June 19th Data Analytics June 22nd to June 26th Data Analytics July 13th to July 17th Data Analytics  July 20th to July 24th Quant Risk Management If your student is interested in data or math, or just looking for something interesting to do this summer, join us for an exciting week! To apply to the program go here. Students who apply early get priority access, so now is the perfect time to start. Use application fee waiver code: PRECOLLEGE to apply for free!

Reserve Your Seats TODAY NAACP Founder's Day Celebration NAACP Founder's Day Celebration Thursday, February 12, 2026 Dear NAACP Houston Branch Members, Your Houston NAACP cordially invites you to join the NAACP Founder's Day Celebration, themed “In The Spirit of Our Founders...We Fight On!" To celebrate the 117th Anniversary of the founding of the NAACP, the event will be held on Thursday February 12, 2026 at The Ensemble Theater, located at 3535 Main Street. The evening begins with an upbeat RECEPTION at 5:30PM followed by an elegant seated DINNER at 6:00PM that flows into an inspiring presentation highlighting the impact the NAACP makes locally, statewide and nationally, and then... Anticipate A Moving Conversation “The NAACP Now…Leading Forward, Living The Fight”, featuring, our NAACP National President and CEO, Mr. Derrick Johnson, our NAACP Texas Conference President, Mr. Gary Bledsoe, and our NAACP Houston Branch President, Bishop James Dixon, II, D. Min. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Carla Brailey, Associate Professor of Sociology, Senior Fellow, Barbara Jordan Institute of Public Policy at Texas Southern University. In this climate, so much is demanded of the NAACP, nationally, statewide and of course locally; but our essential work cannot happen without support from our members and our corporate & community partners. That’s why we’re asking you to support our Founder's Day Celebration. In light of our Houston NAACP Annual Freedom Fund Gala's transition back to its original hosting month of October, this Founder's Day event is also purposed to fuel/(fund) our broad impact and local freedom fighting programs and initiatives for 2026. As Members of our great Association and local Houston NAACP, we hope you'll commit to sponsoring a table or ticket(s) on this anniversary occasion (Special Pricing for NAACP Life & Subscribing Life Members is available). Additional Founder's Day details are provided on our website at: www.naacphouston.org/117 or you may contact your Houston NAACP if you need additional information or need to verity your Life Membership status. At a time like this, the difference the NAACP makes is more important than we can measure. Saving our democracy, protecting freedoms and defending human dignity. In the Spirit of Our Founders, “We Fight On!” Thank You and Blessings, Bishop James Dixon, II, President NAACP Houston Branch Link: NAACP Founder's Day Sponsorship Package Link: Life & Subscribing Life Member Ticket Payments  ($150 Tickets) Derrick Johnson NAACP President and CEO Gary Bledsoe NAACP Texas State Conference President Bishop James Dixon, II NAACP Houston Branch President Don't Talk About It...
