ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As COVID-19 continues to wear on Americans’ mental health, Take Me Fishing and Discover Boating are launching a new public service campaign called Get On Board to raise awareness about the wellness benefits of fishing and boating.

The campaign is informed by the latest consumer research from the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF), the national nonprofit organization behind the Take Me Fishing brand. According to the current Special Report on Fishing, «relaxing and unwinding» is the No. 1 experience associated with the activity. The report also found that nearly 1 in 3 participants said the best thing about fishing is «getting away from the usual demands of life.»

«Fishing isn’t just about the fish,» said Stephanie Vatalaro, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for RBFF. «People have long turned to fishing and boating for stress relief. Given the uncertainty in today’s world, there’s something uniquely appealing about the calming effect of the water. For many people, fishing and boating are lifelines to mental health and wellness.»

Additional data suggests that interest in fishing and boating has continued to grow amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a recent poll, 1 in 5 Americans said they’re more likely now to try the activities than they were prior to the pandemic. Among parents, the statistic is 1 in 4.

«The outdoors is a welcome remedy to stress and anxiety,» said Dr. Sue Varma, a nationally recognized psychiatrist partnering with Take Me Fishing. «Being in nature supports each of the four ‘M’s of mental health: mindfulness, mastery, meaningful engagement and movement. Fishing in particular encourages mindfulness by helping you get away from distractions, it supports mastery by teaching you a new skill, it provides meaningful engagement through quality time with others you may be quarantining with, and it promotes physical movement by getting you outside without requiring a strenuous workout. Looking at fishing from a psychiatrist’s perspective, it’s a smart way to follow social distancing guidelines while prioritizing your health and wellness.»

Those interested in joining the Get On Board movement can visit www.TakeMeFishing.org/GetOnBoard or www.DiscoverBoating.com and use the social media hashtag #TheWaterIsOpen. Website resources include how-to guides for getting started fishing and boating, an interactive map of places to fish as well as local water-access updates to help people recreate responsibly.

«Whoever you are, we could all use a little encouragement right now,» said Vatalaro. «Whether you’re experienced at fishing and boating or a complete newcomer, now’s a great time to gear up, get out and leave worry in your wake. The water is open to everyone, and we’re all invited to heed the call and Get On Board.»

LANHAM, Md., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — 2U, Inc., (Nasdaq: TWOU), a global leader in education technology, in partnership with more than 30 top non-profit universities nationwide, today announced the launch of a $3M Scholarship Fund designed to expand access to critical tech training boot camps for historically underrepresented candidates experiencing job loss or financial hardship. 

Scholarships of $2,500 each will be available to Black, Latino, and Indigenous learners, as well as women, demonstrating both need and merit. These scholarships, made possible through the commitment of 2U’s partner network, can be applied to over 100 online tech boot camps, spanning fields including coding, data analytics, cybersecurity, fintech, digital marketing, and UX/UI. Participating programs include boot camps offered by Columbia Engineering, The George Washington University, Penn LPS, Rice GSCS, UNC-Chapel Hill Friday Center, UC Berkeley Extension, UCI Division of Continuing Education, UCLA Extension, Vanderbilt Engineering, and many more. 

«As the economic impact of the pandemic continues to unfold, millions of people have seen their livelihoods disappear overnight, with people of color and women disproportionately affected. Many of these jobs—especially in sectors already at risk of automation—aren’t coming back,» 2U Co-Founder and CEO Christopher «Chip» Paucek said. «This scholarship fund removes barriers for workers who are traditionally underrepresented in the tech industry by increasing the affordability of top university boot camps across 2U’s network. Our partners have always made supporting diverse learners central to their boot camps, and these scholarships will put life-changing tech training within even closer reach at a time when people need it most.»

In addition to the Scholarship Fund, 2U has begun rolling out a 24-month, no-interest payment plan option for students enrolling in select boot camps across its university partner network. The payment plan further increases the affordability of tech training programs at an urgent moment for workers across the nation. 

More than 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment since states across the U.S. shut down to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with 95% of workers in low-income households experiencing job loss or a loss of income (Gallup). Over a third of Americans say they will need training or education to find new jobs (Strada Education Network). Tech jobs have been some of the most resilient roles in the current economic downturn, with many industries now accelerating their digital transformation, automation, and e-commerce efforts. Boot camps are seeing record levels of interest as workers look to both reskill and upskill to increase their employment opportunities. 

2U acquired boot camp leader Trilogy Education in 2019. As universities closed their campuses to protect the health of students, 2U quickly helped its partners transition their boot camp programs online and trained all instructors in online teaching best practices. Career-related program elements such as tech talks by industry professionals, project demo events, and recruitment sessions by employers like Microsoft and Deloitte were reimagined in engaging online formats. 

Trilogy-powered boot camps educate working adults across a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels and are available in a 12-week full-time format and part-time 18-week or 24-week formats. More than 25,000 diverse learners have graduated from these programs and thousands of organizations employ them, including 50% of Fortune 100 companies.

Participating institutions include: Arizona State University’s Continuing and Professional Education, Butler University Executive Education, Case Western Reserve University, Columbia Engineering, Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, Michigan State University College of Engineering, Rice University’s Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, Rutgers University Division of Continuing Studies, Southern Methodist University Professional and Online (SMU PRO), The George Washington University, UC Berkeley Extension, UCI Division of Continuing Education, UCLA Extension, UC San Diego Extension, UCF Division of Continuing Education, UNC-Chapel Hill William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education, UNC Charlotte Continuing Education, University of Arizona’s Continuing and Professional Education,  University of Connecticut School of Engineering, University College at the University of Denver, University of Kansas Professional and Continuing Education, University of Miami Division of Continuing and International Education, University of Minnesota College of Continuing and Professional Studies, University of New Hampshire Professional Development & Training, University of Oregon Continuing and Professional Education, University of Pennsylvania College of Liberal and Professional Studies, University of Richmond School of Professional and Continuing Studies, University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio School of Data Science and College of Business, University of Utah Professional Education, University of Wisconsin Extended Campus, Vanderbilt University School of Engineering and Owen School of Management, and more.

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employees attacked by dogs nationwide fell to 5,803 in 2019 — more than 200 fewer than in 2018 and more than 400 fewer since 2017. Today, USPS highlights technology that helps reduce potential attacks, while releasing its annual list of cities with the most recorded dog attacks. The organization also highlights safety initiatives to help protect its employees and offers tips to pet owners as part of the Postal Service’s National Dog Bite Awareness Week, which runs Sunday, June 14, through Saturday, June 20.

«Even during these difficult times, it’s important for our customers to understand that letter carriers are still coming to homes daily and need to deliver mail safely,» said USPS Safety Awareness Program Manager Chris Johnson. «We are confident we can keep moving the trends of attacks downward, and ramping up overall awareness for everyone is the best way to do that.»

Tips and Technology

According to Johnson, technology supports carrier safety in two ways: Mobile Delivery Devices, handheld scanners used by carriers to confirm customer delivery, include a feature to indicate the presence of a dog at an individual address. And the Informed Delivery service alerts customers to mail and packages coming to their homes, allowing them to plan for the carrier’s arrival by securing dogs safely.

The Postal Service offers the following safety tips:

• When a letter carrier delivers mail or packages to your front door, place your dog in a separate room and close that door before opening the front door. Dogs have been known to burst through screen doors or plate glass windows to attack visitors.
• Parents should remind children and other family members not to take mail directly from letter carriers in the presence of the family pet. The dog may view the letter carrier handing mail to a family member as a threatening gesture.
• If a letter carrier feels threatened by a dog, or if a dog is loose or unleashed, the owner may be asked to pick up mail at a Post Office location or another facility until the letter carrier is assured the pet has been restrained. If the dog is roaming the neighborhood, the pet owner’s neighbors also may be asked to pick up their mail at the area’s Post Office location.

2019 Dog Attack Rankings by City
A total of 5,803 USPS employees were attacked by dogs in 2019. The top 20 rankings comprise 30 cities, as some cities reported the same number of attacks:
