My name is Noah Yaffe, I am in 12th grade, and I am proud to unveil the latest addition to the pages of The Polygon: “The Business Beat.” This column is intended to be a gateway to the dynamic, ever-evolving realm of business, economics, and entrepreneurship, set against the backdrop of Poly’s vibrant campus community. “The Business Beat” is here to keep you informed, inspired, and engaged in the world of business as it impacts the lives of Poly students.
Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, an economics enthusiast with a passion for understanding market trends, or simply curious about how the world of business intersects with our academic sphere, “The Business Beat” is your spot. We invite eager Poly students — whether you’re already on The Polygon or not — to help us dissect the latest trends, profile local businesses, and explore the inventive companies involved on our campus. The column is open to entertaining all ideas you might wish to write about, and I am here to offer guidance as you craft your narrative. Possible stories could include: an op-ed on how Poly should be implementing cutting-edge virtual reality technology in its classrooms, a news report breaking down the economics of Poly’s textbook distribution, or a feature story profiling Poly’s Chief Financial Officer Lynda Casarella.
It is my hope that “The Business Beat” becomes a trusted source for updates and opinions on global trends, and the business aspects of Poly. Please reach out to myself, Jess and Jordan, or Ms. Allen if you wish to join in on this exciting journey — where commerce meets campus, and where the innovative spirit of the Poly community is celebrated and fostered.
