As you probably know, here at CityBright we’re really interested in how millennials and Gen Z in South Carolina think — especially when it comes to politics and the issues. In the midst of one of the “most consequential elections of our lifetime,” we wanted to see where young people stood on the issues, for both research purposes and historical context. We conducted this survey among young people in South Carolina throughout the month of October. For the purposes of this survey, we considered Gen Z and Millennial people those ages 15–40.

Engaged 2020

The Office of the Mayor has partnered with PalmettoChain, a project for the development of an enterprise level blockchain platform for South Carolinians, in the development of the Columbia Youth Commission.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the Columbia Youth Commission and its blockchain technology-powered election.
I recently wrote a post for start-up Tradeversity (check them out!) called “5 tips for growing and leveraging your network.” I’ve had numerous people ask me if I had advice for them (disclaimer: ya girl is no expert) when it comes to networking and attending networking events.
See a few tips I’ve found helpful as well as my other post below. Happy handshaking!
