Marketing Resources and Results, Inc. Founder Shares Entrepreneurial Story with Kent State University Students

Entrepreneur Provides Insights and Benefits of Starting a Business with Students in Two KSU Classes

2011-09-19

HUDSON, OH, September 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Since our current economical struggles began at the end of 2008, it has been the vision and hard work of entrepreneurs and small business owners across the United States that have helped to create new jobs and new opportunities. On Tuesday, September 6, 2011, students at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation (CEBI) at Kent State University heard from a local, award winning business owner and entrepreneur on the value of owning your own business.

"I didn't plan to start my own business after I graduated from Kent," said Chris Brown, owner of Marketing Results and Results, Inc. and member of the CEBI Advisory Board. "But after seventeen years of working in large companies in the corporate world, I decided to tap into my entrepreneurial spirit and open my own branding and marketing firm."

During her presentation, Brown shared the story of transitioning from a successful career in the corporate world to opening a small marketing firm and growing her business to become one of the most respected branding firms in Northeast Ohio.

"Kent State offers a wonderful opportunity for students in any course of study to obtain a minor in Entrepreneurship," said Brown. "Students today need to be prepared for the fact that obtaining their college degree does not guarantee a job. By learning how to develop, operate and build a business they can be more prepared to create their own.

The CEBI supports students in their efforts to develop and operate their own company. Several student-run businesses are currently in operation including the cafe at the Kent Library, a laundry service and a company distributing biodegradable bottles.

Chris Brown presented to two entrepreneurship classes, including the Introduction to Entrepreneurship and the Speakers Series Entrepreneurship Class. After sharing her story she answered questions from the students about the struggles and challenges of owning a business.

Lack of protein FKBP51 in old mice improves resilience to depressive behavior

2011-09-19

Tampa, FL (Sept. 15, 2011) -- Decreasing expression of a protein associated with susceptibility to depression made old mice resistant to depressive-like behavior while improving their hormonal response to stress, a study led by researchers at the University of South Florida found. The lack of this protein, FKBP51, did not adversely affect their memory, learning, or basic motor functions. The study suggests that drug discovery efforts aimed at reducing levels of the protein FKBP51 may yield new antidepressant therapies. The findings appear online today (Sept. 15, 2011) ...

Moms who eat high-fat diet before, during pregnancy 'program' babies to be fat, at risk

2011-09-19

PORTLAND, Ore. — New research in mice indicates that babies born to moms who eat a high-fat diet before and during pregnancy have a higher fat mass and smaller livers than babies whose moms consume low-fat fare, according to scientists at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The good news, the researchers report, is that moms who switch to a low-fat diet during pregnancy considerably reduce the risk of these negative effects. Their findings are published online in the American Journal of Physiology and Endocrinology Metabolism, a publication ...
