Fall Programs featuring Dr. Nir Tsuk

Location:

Dr. Nir Tsuk

International Expert in the Field of Social Entrepreneurship

November 19-21, 2019

Being a social entrepreneur means creating novel solutions for social problems. The main goal of social entrepreneurship is to find a way to make positive and systemic change in the world. The challenge for community leaders is to find realistic, feasible, and sustainable solutions to complex and multifaceted problems. Dr. Nir Tsuk has worked with government bodies, businesses, foundations, universities, and Jewish and secular nonprofits, around the world. He has a Ph.D. from Cambridge in social and political sciences where he wrote his dissertation on social networks, social capital, and intentional communities. Nir has family in St. Louis and we are fortunate to take advantage of his time here in November with plans for a return visit in March 2020. Read more about Nir below.
