At a @BCSchillerInst “Climate Is Every Story” series event, @corcorancenter’s Neil McCullagh joined a BC faculty panel to discuss environmental challenges, emphasizing his center’s hands-on approach to helping students understand local housing issues. https://t.co/LXROaMW0aG

Through a new Shea Center workshop series, “Start@AI: Build Your Toolkit,” faculty, alumni, and industry experts like CSOM professor Sam Ransbotham (@Ransbotham) help students from all majors gain practical AI skills and insights.

CSOM’s Paul Schmelzing co-authored a study analyzing global long-maturity interest rates and structural breaks over the past seven centuries. According to research firm Overton, the study was one of the most-cited policy papers of 2025.

While Social Security can be claimed at 62, research from @RetirementRsrch shows more retirees are claiming funds later. Waiting boosts monthly benefits, and a new bipartisan bill aims to rename retirement ages to better reflect tradeoffs, reports @CNBC.

AI isn’t just a tool anymore—it’s becoming a coworker. A new report from @mitsmr, co-authored by @Ransbotham, argues that agentic AI, which can autonomously act with minimal human intervention, forces leaders to rethink workflows, roles, and governance.
