HGSE Students Participate in Social Entrepreneurship Summit

Recently, several Harvard University Reynolds Foundation Fellows -- including HGSE students Nathaniel Dunigan, Amanda Epstein, Joel Adriance, and Brigham Hall -- participated in the first Social Entrepreneurship Summit of the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation in Washington, D.C. The summit examined the intersection of policymaking and social entrepreneurship with 30 of the country's leaders in government, business, and medical research.

Over two days, students had opportunities to meet with many high-profile members of Congress including Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Sonia Sotomayor; and members of the Obama Administration.

"It was truly extraordinary to have a chance to sit and talk with the Justices at this particular time in history," Dunigan said. "Then to have dinner at the Capitol with Speaker Pelosi and other members of Congress on the very day that the final health care reform was passed was something beyond words. The perspective it gave each of us at this important times in our careers and lives was invaluable."

The Reynolds Foundation Fellowships in Social Entrepreneurship prepare individuals for national leadership positions that bring real-world insights in management and entrepreneurship to bear on social problems.
