Wesleyan alumna and Patricelli Center board co-chair Lara Galinsky ’96 wrote to ENGAGE with this offer, asking us to share it with fellow grads in the Bay Area. Lara says that she has attended in the past and found this conference useful. And even better, we see Sid Espinosa ’94 on the confirmed speakers list for this year!
If you attend the Summit (or any other conferences for that matter), we’d love to hear about your experience. Drop us a line at engage@wesleyan.edu.
