Looking to Do More For Your Career, Then Give Back

Robert believes that it is important to present the many ways people can give back to others just by sharing their experiences and reacting upon them. Robert Massoud spent the majority of his working life in major corporations such as Fidelity and CVS Health, where he used his interpersonal skills to advance his career in both operations and project management. He believes that the best manager is someone who empowers their team to succeed rather than directing them every step of the way.

Detecting Covid-19 Misinformation on Social Media
Get PDFThere have been many studies conducted over the last few years that have attempted to uncover the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the largest areas of concern with COVID-19 is misinformation, as it is a novel virus that many report on, even if unqualified to do so. This study aims to predict whether a Tweet can be classified as misinformation, and then analyze the differences between Tweets that are labeled as either misinformation or not by this model. Machine learning models are created and validated using the CovidMis20 dataset as a training set. The dataset to be labeled contains COVID-19 Tweets that have been collected by one of the authors since March 2020, and there are currently more than 1 billion Tweets in total. Specifically, this study will focus on the United States, India, and the United Kingdom. Through various analysis techniques performed on the Tweets (word clouds, top hashtags, top users tagged, and topic modeling), this study investigated whether a machine learning model can be effective at predicting misinformation at a global scale. It was discovered that there was some evidence of the model being effective for the United States and United Kingdom. For the United States, Hydroxychloroquine was among the top terms in predicted misinformation, which is a very promising result. For the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson dominated the predicted misinformation dataset. All machine learning methods and analyses for this project were completed in an HPC environment through access granted by the National Science Foundation\u27s CAREERS Cyberteam grant and the University of Rhode Island
Woman, Queer, Jewish: The Sociopolitical Importance and Impact of Identity Labels
Get PDFIn this thesis, I trace and analyze the historical, social, and political uses of three identity labels: woman, queer, and Jewish. These three identity categories are personally important to me because I identify as a queer, Jewish woman. The questions motivating this analysis are as follows: How have these words been defined and who gets to define them? What has it meant historically to move through the world with one of these labels, and what does it look like today? What qualifies someone to identify with one of these labels, and what experiences or qualities do we share? What challenges do we face with these words, and what changes should we hope to see? This thesis is a sociopolitical inquiry into the labels that make up my own identity and shape my experiences within the world. In a time where antisemitism is on the rise and there are nationwide efforts to regulate women\u27s bodies and restrict queer existence, this exploration into these identity labels is both relevant and imperative
The Future of the Workforce Depends On Generation Z: A Study On Generational Workforce Preferences
Get PDFThis research paper closely analyzes Gen Z in order to better understand their views, preferences, and expectations of the workforce. We are living in the era with the largest generational diversity to date. The idea of a multigenerational workforce has become an integral part of the workforce itself. With Gen Z’s coming of age and beginning to enter the workforce en masse – with them a unique set of skills, values, and expectations. It becomes of utmost importance for businesses and organizations to understand Gen Z workforce preferences as the demographic group is determined to shape the workforce. As Gen Z will compose almost 30% of the workforce by 2025, it is time to deep dive into this generation’s preferences and adapt workplace policies and procedures, allowing for the creation of a symbiotic relationship between the generation and the workforce
