Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century

An NYU Reynolds Speaker Series

The NYU Reynolds Program in Social Entrepreneurship is pleased to announce its 2008-2009 Speaker Series "Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century" (PDF). This year's series features a remarkable selection of social entrepreneurs who have launched extraordinary programs addressing the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.

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 will share their insights as cutting-edge, far reaching change makers.
