Lodestar Legacy and Project Work

What you do with the future means the difference between leaving a track record and leaving a lodestar legacy

Accodring to Wikipaedia, GLF chose the word LODESTAR to inspire logistiics students initially but later expanded to all students Under the mentorship of Philbert Suresh, Faculty, College of Business Administration since May 1, 2007 when the first Lodestar certificate was given by Dr Joel GlassMan Provost, University of Missouri, St Louis (UMSL).

A lodestar is a relatively bright, easily found, star that is used to find direction, particularly with reference to Polaris, which during the 20th and 21st centuries indicates the direction to the north within a fraction of a degree. (Due to the slow precession of the Earth's axis, this is not a permanent relationship). The component lode is etymologically related to the verb to leadâ€“ lodestars serve as a guide to navigators, as do lodestones, naturally magnetic stones historically used in compasses. The lodestar Polaris in particular is an essential element of the definition of the Cardinal directions used in modern cartography and compasses.

Lodestones can be used to approximately find the northern direction, and are particularly convenient when the stars are not visible. Due to uneven magnetic deviation a lodestone can be significantly less accurate than a lodestar.

In a figurative sense, "lodestar" can mean anything that acts as a guide, inspiration, or example to follow. So the tradition of Lodestar has been continued since then and several students have directly benefited from the recognition in terms of their career focus.
