The Wesleyan Alumni of Color Council and the Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship are pleased to present the 29th Annual Dwight L. Greene Symposium on Wednesday, October 27, 2021. We are delighted to offer this program virtually this year.
In the midst of a national conversation about systemic racism and economic inequity, this 29th Dwight L. Greene Symposium will explore the topic of Black Entrepreneurship. We'll discuss financial and social capital, the power of creativity, and the specific strategies these alumni leaders use to build entrepreneurial ventures and ecosystems. Learn more here.
