Last night, many members of the Flashpoint Academy team were pleased to join nine other winners of this year’s 2008 Chicago Innovation Awards as well and many nominees in a crowd of close to 1000 supporters of innovation at a festive celebration and awards ceremony held at the Goodman Theatre. This was really an extraordinary event and wonderful recognition for our new College and an acknowledgement of all of the hard work that so many people here and so many others have expended over the last two years in order to bring about the successes we have had to date.

During the evening, we were able to spend time visiting with some of the other award winners and meeting a number of new prospective students and employers and then to watch a very entertaining presentation by the MCs, (Tom Kuczmarski and Dan Miller), introductory comments by various city VIPs including Michael Krause, and a humorous and thoughtful presentation by Barry Moltz. Of course, all of our incoming Flashpoint students were privileged just a few weeks ago to have Barry come and give a similar presentation exclusively for Flashpoint students at the College and then to spend a considerable amount of time with our students in Question and Answer sessions.
