Deutser Executive Visits DSP Students
4/1/2024
Dr. Isabel Bilotta, Head of Learning and Innovation at Deutser, recently worked with our Distinguished Scholars Program in a lunchtime seminar. She shared her Ph.D. research and publications, which center on fostering belonging, enhancing performance and well-being, and developing effective leaders in organizations. This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to hear a practicing researcher discuss her work, which closely aligns with the work of Brené Brown in her book Dare to Lead, our DSP common reader for this school year. Thank you to Deutser for sharing Dr. Bilotta with us!

DSP Hosts Executive Innovation Experience
1/30/2024

At Houston Christian High School and The Bush Center for Scholars & Leaders, we strongly believe that experiential learning from leading experts gives our students real-world connections and empowers them to shape the future. In partnership with executives, our students worked together to make a positive impact on our community through collaboration last week during the Executive Innovation Experience event.

Under the guidance of Maria Oden from Rice OEDK and Kim Krieger, COO of BPx, students from the Distinguished Scholars Program collaborated with a partner executive to identify areas for growth on campus. They then went through a design thinking process to come up with possible solutions, iterated on those possibilities, and ultimately presented their findings to the Houston Christian Leadership Team.

We truly appreciate the time and effort our experts contributed to this collaboration. The executives were glad to see future leaders grow, and our students valued the experience as they networked, challenged each other, and developed new skills.
