Elite Colleges Don’t Buy Happiness for Graduates

May 7, 2014 -- (WSJ) -- A word to high-school seniors rejected by their first choice: A degree from that shiny, elite college on the hill may not matter nearly as much as you think.

A new Gallup survey of 30,000 college graduates of all ages in all 50 states has found that highly selective schools don’t produce better workers or happier people, but inspiring professors—no matter where they teach—just might.

The poll, undertaken this spring, is part of a growing effort to measure how well colleges do their jobs. This survey adds an interesting twist, because it looked not only at graduates after college; it tried to determine what happens during college that leads to well-being and workplace engagement later in life.

The poll didn’t measure graduates’ earnings. Rather, it was rooted in 30 years of Gallup research that shows that people who feel happy and engaged in their jobs are the most productive. That relatively small group at the top didn’t disproportionately attend the prestigious schools that Americans have long believed provided a golden ticket to success. Instead, they forged meaningful connections with professors or mentors, and made significant investments in long-term academic projects and extracurricular activities.

Mimosa Networks Raises $20M To Push Global High-Speed Wireless Networking

May 21, 2014 -- (WSJ) -- Investors are pouring another $20 million into Mimosa Networks Inc., a stealthy Silicon Valley startup whose technology aims to make fiber-speed wireless networks a given around the world, the company told Venture Capital Dispatch.

The investment, which comes from insiders New Enterprise Associates and Oak Investment Partners, takes Mimosa’s total funding to nearly $39 million as Mimosa prepares to launch its first products in mid-June. Valuation is not disclosed.

“We’ve got a 1,000-to-1 mismatch between what we’re supplying [in wireless technology] and what we think the demand will be at the end of the decade. That’s the big backdrop,” said NEA Venture Partner Greg Papadopoulos, a Mimosa board member.
