You are cordially invited to join Columbia Business School for an evening of networking and socializing with fellow alumni, faculty members, students, and professionals in the climate and social enterprise sector.
This year’s reception will feature remarks from Austin Smith ’22, managing partner of Alley, a full-service digital agency that creates digital solutions that connect people to news, entertainment, ideas — and to each other. Austin will share his experience working with the ReEntry Acceleration Program (REAP) and Justice Through Code (JTC) and how he leveraged his experience, skills, and EMBA degree, as well as the resources and capabilities of Alley, to empower formerly incarcerated individuals who need second chance career track employment opportunities. Hear from Austin about how he created a reentry simulation used in the REAP Immersion class and the mentoring platform that contributes to ongoing learning for the MBA network and JTC students alike. Professor Dan Wang will provide welcome remarks.
