Last week we had a blast meeting students during our Jumpstart Summer Leadership Program 2025! It was a great way for students to connect with Blue employees and a great way for our team to introduce the students to our people-first culture. The students participated in multiple workshops and breakout rooms, a Reds game, a speech from our CPO, Chad Pfeifer, and having one on one time with employees. Thank you to everyone who made this program a success and a big thank you to Amy Lambdin for planning and running the program this year. We hope to see you next year!
