Singh, the current interim president of Western Connecticut State University will assume the role of UWO's 12th leader beginning on July 1.
Officials say he has served as the interim president at Western Connecticut State University since 2023, before that he was the Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at Southern Connecticut State University.
He is said to have held leadership positions at Humboldt State University (California), Penn State University Abington (Pennsylvania), and Long Island University Post (New York), and was also a professor of finance at several schools.
The engagement of the UW-Oshkosh campus community in the search process was significant, and the enthusiasm for what comes next was palpable. We feel that Dr. Singh possesses the talent and skill to harness the energy on campus and lead it into a bright future.

Singh earned a bachelor's and master's degree in economics from Punjab University-Chandigarh (India), as well as another master's degree in economics from the University of Waterloo in Ontario. He also earned a Ph.D. in finance from Southern Illinois University.
I am moved by the passion of UW-Oshkosh students pursuing their dreams, the devotion of faculty mentoring them with compassion and rigor, and the dedication of staff ensuring student success every step of the way. They are the reason I believe in the promise of this university—and the boundless potential of what we can achieve together.

Chewy Stock Tumbles as Net Income Falls Short of Estimates
Shares of Chewy (CHWY) fell sharply in premarket trading Wednesday as the online pet retailer's first-quarter profit came in below analysts' expectations. Chewy reported GAAP net income of $62.4 million, or $0.15 per share. Analysts polled by Visible Alpha were looking for $68.9 million, or $0.16 per share. The company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.35 on net sales that increased 8.3% year-over-year to $3.12 billion, while analysts had expected $0.34 and $3.08 billion, respectively. Last quarter, Chewy had guided for $0.30 to $0.35 and $3.06 billion to $3.09 billion in Q1. Chewy's active customer base grew 3.8% to nearly 20.8 million, while the retailer generated $2.56 billion in autoship sales, up 15% from a year ago and representing 82% of its total sales. The company affirmed its full-year outlook of 6% to 7% sales growth to $12.30 billion to $12.45 billion. For the second quarter, Chewy forecast adjusted EPS of $0.30 to $0.35 and sales of $3.06 billion to $3.09 billion, while analysts currently expect $0.31 and $3.04 billion, respectively. Last month, Chewy announced that CFO David Reeder would "be departing in several months to return to the semiconductor industry as a Chief Executive Officer." Singh added that Reeder would "assist with an orderly transition as we undertake a search for his successor." Chewy shares, which entered Wednesday up 37% since the start of the year, were down 7% shortly after the report. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio

Asia Private Bankers Call for Rethink of 60/40 Portfolio Split
Private market instruments, gold and Chinese yuan are looking increasingly appealing as alternative investments to private bankers in Asia as they push beyond traditional stock and bond allocations. Bankers are calling for investors to rethink the 60/40 portfolio — an investment strategy of allocating to equities and bonds — amid heightened market volatility fueled by US policy whiplash and de-dollarization concerns. The approach has lost some of its luster as its underlying mechanism fell out of whack for extended periods in recent times, with US stocks and bonds moving more in lockstep rather than offsetting each other.

MIT Startup TechNext Awarded Patent for Breakthrough Technology Forecasting System
The first-of-its-kind system enables data-driven R&D and innovation strategy ARLINGTON, Va., June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechNext Inc., a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) startup, has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,099,572 B2 for its novel system that predicts improvement rates across the vast spectrum of definable technologies, from quantum computing to self-driving cars. Lack Of Quantitative Tools Hinders Innovation With global R&D spending exceeding $2 trillion annually, organizations struggle to allocate resources effectively, often wasting billions on technological dead ends. "R&D has become one of the fastest-growing expenses for companies, yet most decisions still rely on intuition rather than data. We have been flying blind," said Anuraag Singh, TechNext co-founder and co-inventor of the patented technology. Singh, together with co-inventor and co-founder Prof. Christopher L. Magee (Professor Emeritus, MIT), identified the acute need for objective forecasting tools based on their experiences shaping technology strategy at global leaders such as Honda Japan and Ford. Transforming R&D from Intuition to Intelligence "Traditional forecasting methods can't keep pace with technological change," added Prof. Magee. "Our newly patented system for quantitative technology performance forecasting, provides the crucial missing piece: a rapid, data-driven, and systematic way to anticipate the future." The system relies on large empirical datasets, patented algorithms to precisely define tens of thousands of technologies and to forecast improvement rates in their performance. For example, consider Tesla founder Elon Musk's stance that the spinning LiDARs on Alphabet's Waymo are unlikely to be competitive with their exclusively camera-based perception system. The TechNext system can precisely forecast which of the two approaches is likely to perform better in the long-run and whether an alternative technology might outperform both. TechNext helps organizations: Anticipate and capitalize on disruptive technology opportunities Identify acquisition targets years before competitors and avoid expensive dead ends Create new revenue streams by identifying promising technologies early TechNext's customers include the U.S. Air Force, leading Multi-national Corporations, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, think tanks, venture capital firms, and investment funds. TechNext's research is utilized by national laboratories and universities worldwide, with coverage in The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Fast Company.
