Trying to keep young talent in “the best city in the world”

Community leaders also had the opportunity to speak with interns directly, including Mortar Co-Founder and Managing Director Derrick Braziel, P&G Product Design Engineer Sonam Patel and Easter Seals TriState Marketing Specialist Kate Elliott. Each highlighted the potential benefits Cincinnati has to offer future college graduates on both professional and personal levels. Braziel, who moved to Cincinnati in 2013 from Indianapolis, had especially positive things to say about his new home. “I’m just going to say it: I think Cincinnati is the best city in the world,” he said at the Cintas Center banquet. “And I think that once people see what this city has to offer them, they’ll agree with me.”
