While running for the men's track and field team is one of his main activities at Albion College, Jon Haadsma, '19, has dreamed of a job working in the front office of a Major League Baseball team since growing up in Battle Creek. Last fall, the accounting and history major may have reached first base in realizing that dream when he interned with the Philadelphia Phillies as part of his experience with The Philadelphia Center.
Larry Steinhauer, professor emeritus of economics and management, passed away on Christmas Day at his home in Albion, at the age of 75. A student of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, Steinhauer's research and teaching focused on money, money systems and the Federal Reserve. Over his 32 years with Albion, he taught and mentored many successful Albion alumni, including some who have gone on to become Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs and leaders in a wide range of industries. A celebration-of-life service will be held at Goodrich Chapel on Saturday January 27, at 11 a.m.
"It's a huge legal document with a lot of SEC regulations," says Laura Newbury, '18, of Intel's annual report. "I wasn't breaking them or going over the line, but sometimes nudging what we could do within those rules." An intern who "nudges" SEC guidelines sounds like a supervisor's worst nightmare, but Newbury says her work was about best practice. She spent the summer with Intel's external reporting headquarters in Portland, Oregon, following the company mandates to "rock the boat" and "change something."
