Date
NYU students and alumni convened at NYU Stern for an evening with NYU alumnus Scott Harrison (CAS '98), founder and CEO of charity: water, New York Times bestselling author and NYU’s 2018 Alumni Changemaker of the Year. The special lecture was jointly organized by the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business, NYU Stern Business and Society Program, NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, NYU College of Arts & Science Department of Environmental Studies and NYU Stern Undergraduate College.
