Popular Talks Offer an Afternoon of Business Insights

In the wake of Haiti’s devastating earthquake in 2010, Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites became lifelines connecting victims to loved ones abroad, and for others, they provided high-tech channels to raise money for relief efforts.

Soon after, that story – and the technology behind it – became the subject of a popular talk in Dr. Michael Savoie’s then-new monthly speaker series, “An Afternoon With …”.  The free, monthly series brings innovation leaders from business, healthcare, technology, higher education and philanthropy to share their insights with students, faculty, staff and business leaders at the UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management.
