Event Recap: NYC Alumni Chapter, May 2015

Authored By:

CIEE Alumni

Last week, we kicked off the first official event of the CIEE Alumni New York City Chapter at the Centre for Social Innovation in NYC. Thanks to all CIEE alumni who attended this event! 

The event was presented in collaboration with the Academic Internship Council (AIC). Drinks were generously provided by Allagash Brewing from CIEE's home city of Portland, Maine. 

Two speakers presented short talks on social entrepreneurship during the event: 

  • Isabel Soffer, co-founder of globalFEST, a groundbreaking global music festival and nonprofit organization
  • Marco Salazar, co-founder of Be Social Change, the largest social impact community in New York City

 

"It was a really great way to not only network but make new connections with others that have similar interests to my own."
