Students Lead
Comet is launching in 2021 to usher in the next wave of critical thinkers, conscientious innovators, and future leaders. We value the student as an individual, an individual who plays a vital role in our global community. We promise to position students’ needs and interests at the forefront of our brand goals and will do so by involving them at every level of product creation and design.
We champion student equity and diversity, and seek to level the playing field so that every youth has a fair shot at reaching their full potential. We will honor each individual’s uniqueness by NOT providing a one-size-fits-all solution but by asking the right questions, listening and adapting. We will leverage the power of AI technology to offer individualized suggestions that allow students to make responsible decisions and come to their own conclusions.
We understand students’ needs are ever-evolving and we will grow alongside them as the world around us changes. We strive to empower students to take their next step in life with purpose.
