Dallas College Expands Bachelor’s Degree Offerings With New Management Program

Published

on

The move strengthens Dallas’ most accessible workforce-aligned pathway to a four-year degree as more than 400 students enroll in the new online program. 

DALLAS, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dallas College is growing its bachelor’s degree portfolio to four with the launch of its Bachelor of Applied Science in Management. The new, fully online program gives working adults, transfer students and associate degree holders a flexible path to a four-year degree and career advancement.

More than 400 students have already enrolled in the new bachelor’s degree in management, and more than 1,000 prospective students have expressed interest. The 120-credit degree costs $11,880 in tuition for Dallas County residents, or less for students who enter the program with applicable college credit.

The program combines online access with workforce-focused instruction in management, leadership, and business. During the final 30 credit hours, student’s complete competency-based courses that allow them to advance by demonstrating mastery of the material.

“Working adults should not have to choose between keeping their jobs and completing a bachelor’s degree,” said Dr. Shawnda Floyd, Dallas College Provost. “The Bachelor of Applied Science in Management combines the flexibility our students need with the business and leadership skills employers value. The strong enrollment response confirms that students are looking for a different path to a bachelor’s degree that is relevant, accessible and connected to workforce opportunities.”

Octavia Kimble represents the working adults the program was created to serve. Kimble returned to college in her late 30s and earned an associate degree in criminal justice at Dallas College’s Eastfield Campus. After completing her associate degree, she received a promotion at Dallas ISD, where she works in school safety and crisis management.

While pursuing a Crisis Intervention Certificate, Kimble learned that she could remain at Dallas College and continue toward a bachelor’s degree in management.

“I was so excited. This is perfect, and I’m ready for it,” Kimble said. “It will open doors for me. I’m hoping to complete it within 10 months. The ability to move quickly through the courses is a lifesaver for people like me who took an unconventional route.”

The program is offered through an alternative pricing structure known as a tuition subscription model. For the competency-based portion of the degree, students pay a flat-rate per term of enrollment and begin with two courses.

After successfully completing those courses, students may request another course at no additional cost. Courses are added sequentially as students demonstrate competency, creating opportunities to accelerate learning and reduce the time required to complete the degree.

The competency-based format allows students to:

Progress by demonstrating mastery of course materialMove more quickly through concepts they already knowFocus more time on developing new knowledge and skillsComplete additional courses during the semester at no additional costPotentially reduce the time required to complete the degree

“The Bachelor of Applied Science in Management is designed to recognize and accelerate learning wherever learning occurs,” said Dr. Darryl Williams, Vice Provost of the Dallas College School of Business, Hospitality and Global Trade. “With competency-based education, students advance by demonstrating mastery of the knowledge and skills rather than progressing solely based on time spent in the classroom. The model provides a more personalized path while maintaining academic rigor and preparing graduates to lead in a dynamic business environment.”

Students who already hold an associate degree can follow a seamless pathway to complete the bachelor’s degree in two years or less, depending on the credits accepted and the pace at which they progress.

Eligible students may also receive credit for prior learning, including knowledge and skills gained through employment, industry certifications, professional training, or military service. Credit for prior learning (CPL) may further reduce the number of courses a student must complete, shortening the path to graduation and lowering the student’s overall tuition costs.

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Management is Dallas College’s fourth bachelor’s degree program since 2020 and reflects the institution’s growing role as an affordable bachelor’s degree provider for North Texas.

Dallas College launched its first bachelor’s degree program, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education and Teaching, in 2020. The college added a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2024 and Bachelor of Applied Technology in Software Development in Fall 2025.

Together, the four programs expand opportunities for North Texas students to earn workforce-focused bachelor’s degrees close to home while benefiting from Dallas College’s affordable tuition, student services and connections to regional employers.

On Wednesday, October 14, there will be a launch event at the Dallas College Richland Campus from 1-3 p.m. to commemorate the new program. The event will feature remarks from the Dallas College Chancellor, Dr. Justin Lonon, as well as from faculty and students of the program.

D.Law Opens Its Doors Online With “Our Space,” a Photographic Tour of the Pasadena Headquarters

Published

on

By

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Most law firms show you a lobby and a conference table. D.Law is showing you the whole building.

Today D.Law, the California employment firm that fights for workers, launched Our Space, a new page on www.d.law that opens up its Pasadena headquarters to anyone curious about where — and how — the firm works. The page features 40 professional architectural photographs captured over two days, including aerial drone shots, wide panoramas of the open floors, and the signature spiral staircase at the heart of the office.

But the page isn’t a real-estate listing. Alongside the architecture are candid moments of the people who fill it: a hallway catch-up, a quick conversation between floors, a team heading downstairs. The message is simple: the space and the people are one story.

“I designed this building around one idea: people do their best work when they feel like they belong somewhere. The open floors, the staircase, the natural light all exist to bring the team together. Seeing it captured this way, with the team moving through it, is exactly how it was meant to be lived in,” said Rick Corsini, the architect who designed D.Law’s headquarters.

“Every day, we tell clients they deserve a workplace that respects them. This office is us holding ourselves to that same standard. When candidates ask what it’s like to work here, we can finally just send them a link,” said Edgar Davtyan, Head of Strategy and Growth at D.Law.

The launch builds on a run of recognition for D.Law’s culture. The firm was named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces list in both 2025 and 2026, ranked #1 Best Place to Work in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2023, and named a Top Law Firm by the LA Times in 2026.

Our Space sits in the “Join Us” section of www.d.law, next to the firm’s Careers, Summer Associate, High School Internship and Paralegal Training programs. For attorneys, paralegals and staff weighing their next move, it offers something a job listing can’t: a look at the place they’d walk into every morning.

Take the tour at d.law/our-space.

About D.Law

D.Law is a plaintiff-side employment law firm representing California workers in wrongful termination, wage and hour, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and protected leave cases. Founded by Emil Davtyan, the firm has 200+ employees across 16 California offices and is headquartered at 250 N. Madison Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. Learn more at d.law.

AI Industry Unicorn, Frore Systems’ latest coldplate innovation, LiquidJet Diamond, improves extreme
hotspot cooling, significantly increasing the efficiency and profitability of AI Data Centers

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frore Systems today announced LiquidJet Diamond, a new AI Factory liquid cooling coldplate featuring an integrated diamond spreader. The accelerating demand for AI Tokens, coupled with energy scarcity, is spurring hyperscalers to find new ways to increase the efficiency of AI Factories. LiquidJet Diamond Coldplate boosts AI Tokens/Watt and revenue by 35% compared to traditional skived coldplates, with the increased revenue flowing directly to profit.

LiquidJet Diamond builds on the previously announced Frore Systems LiquidJet coldplate. LiquidJet coldplate employs a unique 3D ultra short-loop multi-stage design which can be precisely customized to the power map of each GPU, including extreme hotspots. This precision is critical as GPUs grow in complexity and power draw to meet AI demand. LiquidJet delivers 12 oC reduction in GPU die temperature which directly translates to 25% higher Tokens/Watt efficiency. LiquidJet Diamond adds an additional spreader with integrated diamond wafers to the coldplate bottom, positioned precisely at the hotspot locations. LiquidJet Diamond delivers an additional 10 oC reduction in hotspot die temperature, boosting increase in Tokens/Watt to 35%.

“AI Factories are facing major performance barriers,” said Seshu Madhavapeddy, Founder and CEO of Frore Systems. “GPUs are increasing power density and creating extreme hotspots which, if not properly cooled, hinder the GPU from maximizing performance. LiquidJet Diamond, which features an integrated diamond spreader in addition to innovative 3D ultra short-loop multi-stage design, can cool extreme hotspots up to 770 W/ cm2, unleashing high-performance AI GPUs and delivering even more AI Tokens/Watt.” He continued, “When each GPU is more efficient, each AI Token costs less to produce, and more AI Tokens can be generated within the available power budget, using the same AI Factory infrastructure. This increases AI Factory profitability, while conserving local resources.”

Power available to AI Factories is finite and expensive to expand. Utility interconnection, transformer capacity, and physical power delivery infrastructure are all limiting factors on total AI Factory power draw and are areas which have local communities increasingly concerned. Facing this power constraint, AI Factory operators understand that power is a strategic asset, and every watt allocated must be used to generate tokens as efficiently as possible.

“If each AI Factory could produce 35% more AI Tokens with the same resources by deploying LiquidJet Diamond, hyperscalers would reach their growth goals faster with fewer AI Factories,” Seshu commented. “Each new AI Factory costs tens of billions of dollars to build and more to operate, so the ability to generate more AI Tokens/Watt with existing resources can significantly increase profits, conserve energy and make a significant difference to all stakeholders.”

LiquidJet® Diamond: The innovative 3D ultra short-loop multi-stage coldplate built for the rapid growth of AI

LiquidJet Diamond performance compared to a skived coldplate:

Hotspot cooling: over 150% higher max power density75% higher heat transfer efficiency16 – 22 ºC cooler GPU30 – 35% more AI Tokens/WattSeamless drop-in upgrade 

Designed to scale to meet AI data center demand, in both size and volume.

LiquidJet addresses the industry’s most pressing thermal challenges — not only through superior performance and hotspot management, but also through its ability to scale to hyperscaler volumes.

Traditional skiving cannot deliver the exacting thermal performance demanded by today’s AI GPUs. Newer approaches such as ECAM (electrochemical additive manufacturing, also known as 3D metal printing) offer design flexibility but cannot meet hyperscaler quality, reliability, volumes, or timelines. LiquidJet combines the precision of semiconductor fabrication with high-volume manufacturing capability — satisfying both the performance and scale requirements of leading AI data center coldplate deployments.

Higher thermal performance and high-volume manufacturing are not the only challenges LiquidJet solves. GPU die sizes are increasing dramatically. Die sizes range from 1,488 mm2 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra all the way to 46,225 mm2 Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine, roughly 30x the footprint. With LiquidJet, Frore Systems has pioneered the only coldplate manufacturing process capable of supporting not only the power and performance, but also the size requirement of these larger AI GPUs. 

See LiquidJet in action

At the 2026 OCP Global Summit, Frore Systems is showcasing its latest innovations with live demos of LiquidJet and LiquidJet Diamond Coldplates delivering cooling for the 2300W NVIDIA Rubin and 770 W/cm² extreme hotspot density, along with LiquidJet Nexus, the integrated coldplate system for ½ U compute trays.

Experience Liquid Cooling built for AI. Thermal Stack Innovation Starts with Frore Systems in Booth F4 on the Show Floor at San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California October 12-16, 2026.

By

AI agents for retail grocery procurement are reaching scale — 100 million transactions this year. GSC opens in London, where 84 of every 100 makers are.

VANCOUVER, BC and LONDON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) today introduces its 0–100 Agentic Density Scale for the grocery market: three markets — the UK, the European Union with Switzerland, and the USA — set to 100, and each market read as a number on that scale. Sales and makers are each read on the scale on their own; each adds to 100 by itself.

Sales: USA 42 • Europe 52 • UK 6Makers: USA 16 • Europe 81 • UK 3

On the scale, the shelf and the makers sit in different places. The USA is 42 of sales and 16 of makers. The UK and Europe are 58 of sales and 84 of makers — five makers for every one in the USA. Nearly 40% of Europe’s shelf is own-label, made by contract manufacturers with no consumer brand. The market the industry calls “the CPG market” is where grocery is bought; 84 of every 100 makers are somewhere else, and most of them have no brand to be found by.

What the agents already do

GSC’s AI agents have handled 100 million agentic transactions on the record year to date. 40% came from Europe, 20% from the USA, and 40% from the rest of the world. The agents are already buying where the shelf is. Everyone else measures what people bought. GSC measures what the agents are buying.

GSC opens in London

GSC today opened a sales office in London, UK, under its new company GreenCore Solutions (UK), at Medius House, 2 Sheraton St, London W1F 8BH, reached at gsc-em.co.uk.

A2A-Grocery.co.uk, the agentic commerce hub for retail grocery, carries 353,510 makers across 20 markets. 201,297 of them are in the UK, the EU, Switzerland and the USA. The London office puts the European makers — the 81 — in front of the AI agents buying for grocery retailers in every one of the 20 markets, human in the loop on every order. The UK’s own 12,130 food and drink manufacturers are the first door.

“Makers with AI agents get found, get checked and get ordered — in the markets they sell in today and the ones they want next,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO of GreenCore Solutions Corp. “On GSC’s Agentic Density Scale 84 of every 100 makers are in the UK and Europe. A2A-Grocery.co.uk is their ad-free marketplace, and London is the door.”

UK and EU makers are served in-region from day one. GSC’s record is answered from Microsoft Azure UK South for the UK, and from seven Azure regions across the EU and Switzerland — France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Poland — plus Google Cloud Enterprise, Madrid. A maker’s data stays in its market.
