Wauwatosa, WI., AUGUST 22, 2012 -- Kicking off the largest, single-day GE volunteering event in the world, GE Healthcare employees will donate time and effort to help 15 Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) and five Waukesha Public Schools (WPS) to improve resources and learning environments in preparation for the upcoming school year. More than 2,800 current and retired GE employees will work with MPS and WPS staff and other local community volunteers to paint, clean, organize and landscape to enhance facilities for 20 schools.

Flexible Thinker: This GE Research Engineer Is Helping Modernize the Electrical Grid
Growing up in Senegal, Ibrahima Ndiaye spent a lot of time taking apart radios and fixing TV sets and learning math from his father, a teacher at a local college. He went on to study electrical engineering in Morocco, got his PhD in Canada, and a decade ago landed at GE Research, in Niskayuna, New York.

Prepare for Impact: How GE’s Climate Action Challenge Fostered 85 Employee Environmental Projects in 90 Days
Colin Vogt stands on a berm at the northern edge of GE Aerospace’s Evendale campus, outside Cincinnati. The offices and manufacturing facilities are visible in the distance, but here Indian paintbrush, coreopsis, and native Ohio prairie grasses sway in the hot summer wind. In two years, this area will be very popular with bees, birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. The shoulder-high plants will pull carbon dioxide from the air. And the berm, which was built several years ago to keep runoff along I-75 from flooding the property, will be more stable than ever.

Personal Best: Why Logan Mueller Runs with a Sense of Purpose
Logan Mueller’s work-life epiphany came in October 2018, in the middle of her first 12-hour ultramarathon. Mueller is an avid runner, but on a 2.2-mile loop she hit a wall around the eight-hour mark. The temperature had crept up to the nineties and she was losing steam. Things had gotten so tough she’d begun to sob. She stopped at a refreshment station and was seriously considering quitting when a volunteer asked what she could do to help.
“I don’t know,” Mueller said. “I’m tired and I’m hot.”
