Click here for a full list of all required materials for graduate applicants.
Master of Engineering applicants must submit TOEFL scores if their Bachelor's Degree was taught in a language other than English.
For undergraduate applicants, Cooper Union accepts both versions of the SAT. Cooper does not have a preference over which version- old or new- applicants choose to submit. Applicants may, of course, submit scores from both versions.
How do I send Cooper Union my score report(s)?
All standardized test score reports must be the official copy sent directly from the testing agency. For SAT, SAT Subject Tests and AP score reports, you should request an official copy from College Board. For TOEFL and GRE score reports, you should request an official copy from ETS. For ACT score reports, you should request an official copy from ACT.
What happens if my scores are delayed or Cooper Union won't receive them by the application deadline?
If your score results are delayed due to circumstances beyond your control (i.e. natural disaster, school closing, delays directly from the testing agency), we encourage you to submit a screenshot of your scores that we may use as a placeholder until the official score report is received. This allows us to continue reviewing your application without delay, but we must receive your official scores as soon as possible.
The College Board and ACT will post more detailed information about test center closings and rescheduled test dates on their respective websites.
If you have another extenuating circumstance that prevents Cooper from receiving your scores by the application deadline, please contact the Office of Admissions immediately at admissions@cooper.edu or 212-353-4120. We will do our best to work with you and accommodate your situation.
Yes. When reviewing your application, we will use the highest scores submitted, regardless of test dates. Please note that Cooper Union will not superscore across the old and new versions of the SAT as they are two different tests.
The term "superscore" refers to the practice of colleges using the highest score for each section of a standardized test such as the SAT regardless of test date. For example, an applicant takes the new SAT twice- once on October 1st and again on December 3rd. During the October 1st SAT, the applicant receives a Math score of 690 and an Evidence Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) score of 710. During the December 3rd SAT, the applicant receives a Math score of 770 and an EBRW score of 630. Cooper Union will use the EBRW score of 710 from the October 1st test date and the Math score of 770 from the December 3rd test date to give the applicant his/her highest possible score.
Which AP exams can I receive credit for at Cooper Union?
The School of Engineering may grant credit for high school work in Advanced Placement courses in mathematics if a student scores a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam. Before receiving the option of earning credit for MA111 (Calculus I), the student must also pass a summer placement exam administered from the Math Department.
No student is required to accept Advanced Placement credit from the School of Engineering.
The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture may grant credit for mathematics courses. Please click here to review their credit evaluation policy.
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) rarely grants AP credit. However, a student who has attained a grade of 5 on an AP exam may petition the dean for permission to waive a core requirement and to substitute an appropriate elective course.
The Cooper Union will consider granting credit for study in the Armed Forces, verified by U.S.A.F.I.
Is it possible to waive the standardized testing requirements?
Under certain circumstances, Cooper Union will waive the SAT/ACT requirement for an applicant. Generally, only transfer students and/or non-traditional students' requests to waive the standardized testing requirement are considered. You must be able to prove you have had at least one year of college-level math and college-level English to apply for the waiver. You will be asked to attach a copy of your college transcript(s) to the waiver request. The Admissions staff will then consider your request and notify you via email if we are able to waive the SAT/ACT requirement. Please complete the waiver request form here.

Batiste, Antoine Edouard
French organist and composer. Son of Batiste, the well-known comedian. Studied at the Paris C9nservatory and while there gained eight prizes. Before he finished his course at the Conservatory he was appointed deputy professor of the Solfeggio Class, afterward being professor of the Male Choral Class and of the Joint Singing Class. From 1842 until his death he was organist in Paris churches. His compositions for the organ consist of offertories, sonatas, fugues, fantasias and voluntaries. He also wrote piano music and songs. Batiste was considered one of the best of modern performers on the organ. His compositions, although somewhat showy, are considered very good. He was very clever in producing orchestral effects on the organ. His most substantial work, however, was as a teacher and writer. His works on harmony and method and his diagrams for reading music are especially good.

Lynn Scully – Irish Person of the Year!
Scully's Pub could not be more proud of Lynn Scully who has been named Irish Person of the Year! Lynn was honored at this year's Emerald Ball in Honolulu by the Hawai'i chapter of the Friends of St. Patrick.
Lynn has been a champion for the Irish community on the Big Island of Hawaii, bringing the energy and enthusiasm to create a cohesive culture on the island that did not exist before. She has dedicated herself to the development of the Big Island chapter of Hawaii Irish Dance, which now boasts over 30 members, a performing troupe and a long list of event bookings and performances. Lynn is instrumental in organizing, communicating and acting as a liaison for all Celtic activities happening on the Big Island and throughout Hawai'i. Lynn is the social center of the Irish universe on the Big Island, holding ceili's and celebrations, hosting visiting musicians and community members in her home and, of course, operating the best private Irish pub in all the land!
Congratulations, Lynn, and thank you for all that you do!!
Special thanks to The Whiskeydicks for a great event!


This past summer, I had a couple of the greatest weeks of my life in shooting. They were all spent on organic farms across Minnesota and Wisconsin and I was simply so inspired. I was both fascinated and thankful for all of the farmers who work so hard to give us good food. It's one of those things that we know, but maybe don't realize the extent of the hard work and respect that the farmers are giving to the food we eat. It's hard work and I commend them all!
One of the project we worked on during that time is still rolling out, but this shoot is one I can share right away! Iglika Petrova is an amazing food and prop stylist that I have the pleasure of collaborating with and we traveled out to Turnip Rock Organic Farm in Clear Lake, Wisconsin. Rama and Josh are the owners of the farm which is pretty impressive - they grow everything from vegetables to cattle, pig, sheep and even make their own cheese on site. We spent the day with their crew on the land and Iglika worked her magic by creating some finished recipes on her blog, Sprig of Thyme. Check out her delicious recipes here!
I felt so free and creative out on these farms - it was truly a beautiful experience! I can't wait for the next assignment!

Fetch Robotics raises $94m for excellence in logistics
Posted on July 24, 2019 July 24, 2019 by Andra Keay
Category:California Robotics News, Featured, Founding Members, Media Releases
Fetch Robotics Secures Funding to Meet Rapidly Increasing Demand for Its Market-Leading Cloud Robotics Solution
On-Demand Automation Solution Gaining Mainstream Adoption with Leading Logistics Providers
SAN JOSE, Calif. – July 23, 2019 – Fetch Robotics, the pioneer of on-demand automation, today announced a Series C round of funding in the amount of $46 million. The round was led by Fort Ross Ventures, with additional participation from CEAS Investments, Redwood Technologies, TransLink Capital and Zebra Ventures. All existing investors — O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Shasta Ventures,Softbank Capital and Sway Ventures — also participated in this round. Fetch Robotics now has raised $94 million to date. The funding will be used for international expansion, to meet accelerating customer demand, and for ongoing research and development.
"Customers have responded enthusiastically to our unique Cloud Robotics solution, and we're responding by securing the funds we need to continue growing and enhancing our offerings," said Melonee Wise, CEO of Fetch Robotics. "The competitive pressures for excellence in logistics have never been greater. Our Autonomous Mobile Robots and cloud platform enables our customers to meet their customers' demands while meeting their own financial objectives."
While supply chain automation isn't new to logistics or manufacturing, what is new is the need for speed – to produce, transport, package, ship, deliver and adapt – at a pace never before seen. At the same time, the labor shortages that plague ecommerce operations are also impacting distribution, fulfillment and manufacturing facilities. In a recent survey, the number one concern among logistics industry leaders was "hiring qualified workers," and an additional survey reported that manufacturing executives are worried that around sixty percent of current open positions in their businesses are unfilled due to lack of skilled workers. It's therefore no wonder that warehouse and manufacturing operators are struggling to find solutions that let them meet the demanding workload.
One such company is Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULH), a full-service provider of customized transportation and logistics solutions. With headquarters in Michigan, Universal provides value-added logistics services for Fortune 500 manufacturers and retailers, including several of the top automotive and transportation OEMs. Universal recently deployed the Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform in its one million square-foot Smyrna, TN logistics facility which serves the nearby Nissan Motors plant, the largest auto manufacturing facility in North America.
Just outside of Nashville, the greater metropolitan area where Smyrna resides ranks among the lowest overall unemployment rates in the United States at 2.4%. This makes it especially difficult to meet the demand for logistics workers and leads to chronic under-staffing situations. As a result, Universal has a pressing need for flexible, reliable and cost-effective automation solutions that can handle low-level tasks – like pushing carts with parts and sub-assemblies over long distances.
"In Smyrna as in many markets we serve, we face chronic labor shortages, at times in excess of ten percent of our required staff, which puts significant pressure on everyone from the workers on the floor to senior management," according to Universal CEO Jeff Rogers. "The Fetch Robotics system provides an answer to our problem. Because the system installs so quickly – we had it fully operational in less than a week – we're able to boost output and manage our costs. And our workers like it because the robots take on the less interesting, more laborious tasks. With Fetch, our employees can focus on the revenue-generating tasks that are more fulfilling and more valuable."
In the Smyrna facility, Universal is using 10 Fetch CartConnect™ robots in conjunction with 40 carts to automate several key processes in the warehouse. This enables them to meet their targets while reducing the near continuous need to ask associates to work overtime. By opting for the Fetch Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) monthly fee model, Universal has been able to minimize their upfront investment and realize a compelling ROI.
"Thanks to the short time from delivery to operation and the pay-as-you go approach, we've seen an immediate financial benefit from the Fetch deployment," said Lee Weisenberger, Managing Director of IT at Universal. "This is a model we can easily roll out to many additional facilities."
The Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform provides the market's only cloud-driven Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solution that addresses material handling and data collection for warehousing and intralogistics environments. Cloud robotics is revolutionizing automation by bringing the kind of speed, agility and cost advantages that cloud computing brought to IT.
"We've had great success investing in companies that are using unique software platforms to transform large, global industries, and so Fetch Robotics is a natural addition to our portfolio," said Anurag Chandra, Venture Partner at Fort Ross Ventures. "Fetch's cloud-first approach enables on-demand automation, which we believe will transform logistics, manufacturing, retail and other industries in the US and internationally. We're delighted to be a part of the Fetch team."
"Flexibility in operations is a top priority for warehouse operators today," said John Santagate, Research Director at IDC. "Traditional automation technology lacks the ability for rapid deployment, scalability, and flexibility that modern robotics are enabling. On top of the physical element of modern robotics, development of cloud based applications to enable robotics has greatly enhanced the ability to rapidly and efficiently deploy robotics at scale. The cloud robotics approach at Fetch is something that is enabling warehouses to rapidly realize the benefits of robotics and making it easier for companies to deploy and use robots in their operation."
Fetch customers include leading, global companies in third-party logistics (3PL), manufacturing, and distribution. Within the past year, the company has continued to receive industry accolades including the following:
Named As a Leader In IDC MarketScape for Autonomous Mobile Robots for General Warehouse Automation (Doc # US44843019, May 2019)
Recognized by Fast Company in the category of Most Innovative Company — Robotics
Named as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum
Awarded the AI Breakthrough Award for Best Overall Robotics company
Named to The Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 Top Supply Chain Transformations (SDCE 100)

By combining mobile robotics with the power of the cloud, the Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform provides on-demand automation solutions for material handling and inventory management, with the power to find, track, and move almost anything in any facility.

Zoolander 2
The Worst Movie Sequels Ever Made
Some of our favorite films have become some of our least favorite sequels.
Watch the Trailer For the Unreleased 'Zoolander' Animated Movie
The film went straight to Netflix in the U.K. but has never been available in the United States.
In 2016, LGBTQ Movie Characters Were Either Invisible or Punchlines
Last year, I wrote the following headline for GLAAD's annual study of LGBTQ representation in mainstream movies in 2015: "GLAAD Study Finds LGBT Representation In Hollywood Isn't Getting Any Better." I was hoping this year's headline would reflect some improvement, yet almost nothing has changed.
E. Oliver Whitney
'Batman v Superman,' 'Zoolander 2' Dominate Razzie Noms
As is tradition, the night before the Oscar ceremony takes place, the 37th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards will descend on Los Angeles to commemorate the worst that Hollywood had to offer in 2016. A mean-spirited diss-fest in the estimation of some, a good-natured ribbing to others, the so-called Razzies are twice as unpredictable and ten times as frank as the usual awards program. The expected categories of Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Actor/Actress share space with the distinctions of Worst Screen Combo and Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff, or Sequel at the ignominious ceremony. Some celebrities take the jokes in stride (Sandra Bullock famously showed up to receive her Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve the day before she dropped by the Oscars to pick up her Best Actress prize for The Blind Side), but the program goes widely ignored by the industry overall.
Charles Bramesco
The Worst Movies of 2016
There were a lot of great movies in 2016. There were! Please don't let this list convince you otherwise. The movies were absolutely wonderful this year. Just not these specific movies. These were bad. So, so, so bad. Just awful.
Weekend Box Office: 'Deadpool' Shatters Records
20th Century Fox sat on Deadpool for six years before finally giving it a green light with a modest $58 million budget. After a lengthy and impressive marketing campaign that ensured everyone in the world knew the name Wade Wilson, box office tracking was looking strong with $55 million. And then the film actually opened, more than doubling that prediction, shattering a handful of records and blowing the doors off the comic book movie genre. This feels like a big deal. Oh, and Zoolander 2 also opened.
'Zoolander 2' Review: This Comedy Sequel Will Leave You Feeling Blue (Steel)
Is there a documented record for the most celebrity cameos in a single film? If there was, Zoolander 2 just broke it. The film opens with the murder of Justin Bieber and closes with ... well, without spoiling it, let's say it closes with a whole slew of more cameos, and there's at least 20 more in between. These are some of the biggest names from the world of fashion, music, TV, film, journalism, and pop culture. If Zoolander 2 was a party, the guest list alone would make it the greatest ever thrown. But Zoolander 2 is not a party. It is a movie. A bad movie. Never have so many cool people appeared in something so patently lame — or, as idiot male model Derek Zoolander mispronounces it, "luh-may."
'Zoolander 2' Clips Get Very, Very Silly
One of the funniest parts of the Zoolander 2 trailers features Owen Wilson's Hansel hurling increasingly large and dangerous objects at Ben Stiller's Derek Zoolander in an effort to trigger his magical model powers. You can see a slightly extended version of that scene in one of two new clips Paramount has released to promote the long-delayed comedy sequel, while the other…well…it's pretty special.
Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson Pose as Living Mannequins to Promote 'Zoolander 2'
It's only apropos that Zoolander 2, a film about beautiful people's supernatural abilities to help market luxury goods, would have a razor-sharp ad campaign to match. The PR team for the long-awaited sequel to Ben Stiller's 2001 haute couture comedy toyed with the film's title in jokes both clever (stylizing the title to mimic Chanel No...
The 25 Most Anticipated Movies of 2016!
It's officially 2016. Our Best of 2015 lists have all been published and the new year is upon us, which means it's time to start looking to the future. Yes, 2015 was a particularly good year for movie fans, but 2016 looks pretty impressive too. You like Coen Bros. movies? We got one of those. You like Star Wars? Yup, one of those too. Critically acclaimed horror movies? Sure. Pixar? Of course. Movies where your favorite superheroes beat the crap out of each other? WE GOT TWO OF THOSE. We put together a quick list of the 25 movies — a mix of both blockbusters and indies — that we can't wait to see next year. This will probably change as the year goes on (our 2015 list included Jupiter Ascending, Aloha and Tomorrowland so we're not perfect), but based on what we know right now, this is it. Here are the movies we're looking forward to the most in 2016, in the order of release date (those with no release date are listed in alphabetical order).


Today is my first day working full-time on my startup, Badgy, and I'm excited to fully apply the lessons learned from building social games to the digital marketing world.
Badgy started about a year ago when I tried a simple experiment – I gave digital badges on Twitter to 100 people who mentioned the word "Badge", and asked them to retweet me for another badge. I ran this experiment many times over a weekend, and when 20-25% of people did retweet me each time, I knew I had something, but I didn't know what it was yet. In more recent months, as Badgy's market became more clear, a few really talented Atlanta entrepreneurs joined the Badgy team to help build and sell our products.
We've discovered that Badgy is tremendously effective at helping consumer brands and the marketing agencies that often manage their social presence grow their audience of engaged users. We worked with a major toilet paper brand and boosted their Twitter followers by 700% over 10 weeks, while also improving the quality of interaction from their fans. More recently, we've added features that bring similar power to Facebook using the most effective tools popularized by social games like Zynga's Farmville and Cityville, and are signing on 2 more customers. If you're serious about building up the digital marketing program of a product people love, drop me an email at rob at bad dot gy and we'll put together a plan for how Badgy can amplify your digital marketing efforts.
For me and a several other sharp people, our time making social games at Menue Americas wrapped up a bit sooner than expected. If you need an excellent creative director or 2D artists, let me know and I'll get you connected. Some very good developers are now available. They're taking their time finding their next great career move, but if you have some project work that needs to get done properly, especially Facebook development, PHP, Java, or Ruby on Rails web apps, drop me an email and I'll pass it along if it's a fit.
Does this mean I'm not going to "Join a Startup"? I've done that several times before, and will almost certainly do so again when a good opportunity arrives and makes sense, but that's not something to rush into. Right now, I've got a great startup that has shipped product, shown traction, and generated revenue. That's 3 steps further than many companies ever get. We're in a great market – digital marketing has room to grow at least another $50 billion per year in spending. Here's to the ride.
Affordable – At $10/ticket ($15 walk up), it's a lot easier buy than many conferences. Not only do you not need your company to pay for your ticket, you can actually pay for a ticket from cash in your waller.
Great Graduate Companies – A great class of companies is being recognized. I've had contact with graduates PlayOn Sports, BLiNQ Media, and Solohealth, and think very highly of them. Great startups, great momentum, and I expect the other graduates hold to a similar standard.
The Showcase – want to see what several dozen awesome Georgia startups are working on, and get the chance to actually talk to them instead of just staring at press releases and web sites? Lots of companies will have tables set up to show off and talk to you. If you want a startup job, this can be a good place to find a company that's hiring.
Community – If you're working on a startup, you need help, and you probably haven't met everyone who could help you, or whom you could help with their company. Spend a few hours meeting other entrepreneurs, get some feedback on your ideas, pitch, strategies. Find someone to help. Good chance you'll find someone you can help too.

PWBA to kick off 2016 season in Las Vegas on April 29
A mix of veteran bowlers and rising stars helped the Professional Women's Bowling Association roar back into action last year and the 2016 PWBA Tour will build on that momentum when the season schedule kicks off in Las Vegas.
The PWBA Las Vegas Open, starting April 29 at Texas Station, will be the first event of the 2016 PWBA Tour schedule. This season's schedule will feature four major events, including the return of the PWBA Players Championship, among the tour's 14 stops.
The PWBA drew great interest during its relaunch season, and it was easy to see the enthusiasm as the women returned to the lanes.
"I think we are all tremendously excited for the 2016 PWBA Tour season and the chance to build on the foundation we set last year," PWBA spokesperson Kelly Kulick (right) said.
"With the weekly TV shows and additional events, this year will be a great opportunity to show more fans the outstanding talent that is on the PWBA Tour."
The talent will be showcased from the start as every 2015 PWBA Tour champion, including three-time winner and PWBA Player of the Year, Liz Johnson (pictured above), Rookie of the Year Stefanie Johnson (left) and Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship winner Danielle McEwan (right), will be at the season-opening PWBA Las Vegas Open.
Wendy Macpherson, a United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame member who lives in the Las Vegas area, also is scheduled to compete in the event. She is sixth on the all-time list of PWBA titlists with 20 wins.
The PWBA Las Vegas Open is one of several new events on the schedule in 2016 as the PWBA continues to grow its fan base and the new TV package that will provide a weekly show on CBS Sports Network certainly will help to increase exposure.
The TV schedule will start May 26 with a live telecast of the USBC Queens, the first major event of the season. At the Queens, which will take place at The Orleans in Las Vegas, the stepladder finals of the first three regular-season PWBA events – PWBA Las Vegas Open, Nationwide PWBA Sonoma County Open and PWBA Storm Sacramento Open – will be taped for broadcast.
Those shows will air Tuesdays in prime time in the three weeks following the Queens.
All told, CBS Sports Network will have live telecasts of the four majors as part of its agreement to televise 13 PWBA Tour stops in 2016.
All qualifying rounds of PWBA Tour events once again will be carried on Xtra Frame, the exclusive online bowling channel for the Professional Bowlers Association. Click here to learn more and for complete coverage of the 2016 PWBA Tour season.
Players to watch in 2016
A look at five players to watch on the PWBA Tour in 2016:
Danielle McEwan (Stony Point, N.Y.) – She won the PWBA Tour Championship to end the season and then went on a roll, winning a PBA regional, two golds and a bronze medal at the 2015 World Bowling Women's Championships and her third USBC Team USA Trials title.
Jennifer Higgins (Westerville, Ohio) – While she technically will be a rookie on the PWBA Tour this year, the former Team USA member was 10th at the PWBA Topeka Open in 2015. She took fourth at both the 2013 and 2014 USBC Queens.
Liz Johnson (Cheektowaga, N.Y.) – She led the 2015 PWBA Tour with three victories, which included two major titles, on her way to PWBA Player of the Year honors. She retired from the Team USA program to put her focus on the PWBA Tour and some PBA events.
Stefanie Johnson (Grand Prairie, Texas) – She captured 2015 PWBA Rookie of the Year honors and was edged for PWBA Player of the Year by Liz Johnson. She led the tour in match-play appearances with 10 and was third in earnings.
Kelly Kulick (Union, N.J.) – The PWBA spokesperson made a tour-high six championship-round appearances but found a title elusive. Still, she cashed in nine events and finished fifth on the money list.

Towering discus thrower Vikas Gowda has struggled in the last year, with injuries hampering his progress at the Rio Olympics. But Vikas, who has participated in four Olympics (2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016), was on Friday, honoured with the Padma Shri award at New Delhi.
"I was a little bit surprised but receiving this award is definitely one of the highlights of my career," he said after being felicitated by the Karnataka Athletics Association at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
The 6'8" foot Mysuru-born athlete tore his quadricep tendons in both knees due to which he finished a disappointing 28th at the Rio games. "I was injured for most of the year so I wasn't even able to start training until a month or two before Rio. It was really difficult for me to compete thereafter," said a disappointed Vikas.
The 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist added that he would set himself goals for the near future only once he has assessed himself fully.
With an eye on the IAAF World Championships slated to be held at London in August, Vikas' immediate priority is to be fully fit and perform well in the Asian Athletics Championships in July (Bhubaneswar).
"The first main target is definitely the Asian Championship because that's about three months away and it'll give me enough time to recover completely and test myself before the Worlds," said a hopeful Vikas.

The Vols overcame a dreadful second half to outlast rival Alabama over the weekend at Thompson-Boling Arena, and that coupled with losses by Duke and Michigan took Tennessee from the No. 3 spot to the No. 1 spot in both major polls for just the second time in program history.
A special group of players took their lumps early in the Rick Barnes era, and now they're rolling under future Hall of Fame coach Rick Barnes — who became just the sixth coach in college basketball history to take multiple programs to a No. 1 ranking. He turned the trick at Texas, and now he's done at Tennessee.
The Vols aren't satisfied with a No. 1 ranking in January, though. Far from it. This Tennessee team has designs on hanging banners in Thompson-Boling, and it seems to have the tools to make that dream a reality. But Barnes said this team hasn't come close to reaching its full potential despite a 16-1 record and a 5-0 start to SEC play.
In fairness to Barnes, Tennessee's past two second halves has been far from the Vols' best. Tennessee coasted to a 106-87 win over Arkansas last week despite being outscored in the second half, and the Vols turned a double-digit halftime lead over Alabama into a two-score deficit before rallying to turn back the Tide. Did last week's performances show cracks in the facade, or were they simply a couple of bad second-halves at the office? Will they prove to be the start of a trend, or will they ultimately be dismissed as outliers?
Contrasting two polar-opposite topics — Tennessee's rise to the No. 1 ranking, and Tennessee playing arguably its worst game of the season — isn't a simple thing, but both of those (and several more) topics are discussed in this episode.


The reports contain vital information at a level of detail that helps the teacher not only what a student learned by how a student learned.
Our cloud technology gives students access to learning any time of day. It also allows us to measure time on task and mastery of skills.
Each DORS online Lesson Activity is connected to our 'Common Core Navigator' , linking the lesson activity to a library of online content, STEM industry mentoring partners, blended learning practices and skill building activities. As the student builds their 'Portfolios of Success' by completing the activity each one has a direct alignment with common core standards. The DORS team of education specialists reviews each activity to meet that academic, cultural and social needs of the student. All on an accelerated pace towards preparation for higher level math classes and college preparation.
Each DORS Activities then can be linked directly to a classroom teacher's lesson and depth of knowledge plans. This extends learning time for students all documented in user friendly easy to read reports.

AHDB Horticulture, formerly Horticultural Development Company (HDC), was established in 1986 with a remit to fund research and development and communicate results to growers. In 2003, it was also given responsibility for near-market R&D for the apple and pear industry.
Following the Radcliffe Review in 2005, which assessed the structure and efficiency of all agricultural levy boards, the government established a single levy board called the Agricultural and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). In 2008, AHDB Horticulture (HDC as it was then) became a division of the AHDB and now manages the levy board activities for the horticulture industry.
To ensure that this near-market R&D is correctly tuned to meet the needs of industry, growers and farmers play a vital role in setting research priorities in each of the crop sectors and in the decision making process for individual research projects. To see our 'Fit for the Future' strategy document click here, or to see our Research and Development strategy in full click here.
For industry to truly benefit from research it is essential that results and technical developments are communicated in an effective and timely manner. AHDB Horticulture achieves this through the organisation of industry events, the publication of factsheets, reports, crop walker guides, training DVDs, wall charts, software programmes and AHDB Grower, the technical journal for industry. See the Knowledge Hub page for copies of publications and the Events page to see all upcoming events.
Our Communications and Knowledge Delivery strategy - 'Engagement with Impact' - presents how AHDB Horticulture will deliver knowledge derived from the priorities set out in its Fit for the Future strategy. It ensures that AHDB Horticulture is focused on delivering relevant and impactful messages to the right person at the right time and provides the vital link between research, development, knowledge and the levy payer to achieve maximum business benefit.
