Two Great NYU Reynolds Social Entrepreneurship Events - April 18 and 25

The NYU Reynolds Program in Social Entrepreneurship (www.nyu.edu/reynolds) is pleased to conclude the 2011-12 Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century Speaker Series with two outstanding events in April.

Join us on April 18, 6:30pm - 8:00pm as we partner with the NYU Heyman Center for Philanthropy’s Speaker Series to welcome Pop!Tech Curator and futurist Andrew Zolli.  Andrew will explore why, in a time marked by upheaval -from natural disasters and economic crises to political turmoil and climate change- some systems, people and communities fall apart in the face of disruption, and how they can learn to bounce back. He will be introduced by New Media expert Clay Shirky.  The event takes place in the Rosenthal Pavilion, NYU Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, 10^th floor, New York, NY.   It is free and open to the public, but space is limited and an RSVP is required by clicking here or by cutting and pasting http://bit.ly/FOmpTh into your browser.

Join us again on April 25, 12:00pm - 1:30pm as we welcome Peace Corps Director Aaron Williams and City Year CEO and Co-founder Michael Brown in a conversation moderated by former Atlantic Philanthropies CEO and President, and NYU Wagner Senior Fellow Gara LaMarche. So you want to change the world? The starting place is service. Come learn how serving your country and serving the world through civic engagement can both change who you are and make the planet a more equitable, peaceful, and sustainable place. The event takes place at NYU Wagner’s Rudin Family Forum in The Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street, 2^nd floor, New York, NY.

Now in its sixth year, the Social Entrepreneurship in the 21^st Century Speaker Series features a remarkable selection of social entrepreneurs and related leaders who have launched extraordinary programs, companies and movements addressing the most pressing challenges of the 21^st century. (The series was recently cited by Entrepreneur Magazine’s website as one of the five most important tools for social entrepreneurs; http://bit.ly/Av6uwp.) Reflecting the NYU Reynolds belief that social entrepreneurship is a meta-profession drawing on cross-disciplinary knowledge and practice, the series presents prominent social entrepreneurs and leaders from across the spectrum of public and professional sectors who share their insights as cutting-edge, far reaching change makers.
