  Michael Brown Transportation Technology & Automotive

  ​With the 84th running of the 24 Hours at Le Mans this month, I'm drawn back to that race six years ago. It was my first time there. The noise was deafening, and the crowds were overwhelming. The experience, however, was exhilarating.

  Ronnie Richard Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  Brian Stack Education

  ​This is the time of year when Alice Cooper's song "School's Out for Summer" can be heard playing on public address systems in schools from coast to coast. I am reminded of the days of my youth, busting out the front doors of my elementary school and charging into the streets of my Haverhill, Massachusetts, neighborhood filled with mixed emotions of what my life without an academic structure would look like for the next two months.

  Jason Poquette Pharmaceutical

  Pharmacists today have more career paths to choose from than ever before. Once upon a time, pharmacists simply picked from a hospital or retail job. But today is a different story. Upon graduation, a new PharmD stands at the doorsteps of literally dozens of diverse professional settings. There are targeted clinical opportunities in virtually every medical specialty.

• Limping, not sprinting, to Porsche Parade in my vintage 911S

  Noelle Talmon Transportation Technology & Automotive

  "Sometimes you need to know your car's limitations," my co-worker said last week as he proceeded to look up trailer options for my 1976 911S. It's only a couple weeks away until the 61st Annual Porsche Parade 2016 in Jay Peak, Vermont, and I've been planning to drive "Smoky" to the destination, just south of the Canadian border.

• Nurses must embrace our place in healthcare

  Keith Carlson Healthcare Administration

  Nurses are highly respected professionals — the annual Gallup poll ​has demonstrated this time and again.
