We were out and about this past weekend (March 5th) at the San Francisco HULT Global Case Challenge Regional Event. I was happy to have an opportunity to be a part of the crowd and present along with Water.org and the Clinton Global Initiative.
The HULT Global Case Challenge commits to tackling the world’s toughest social challenges through crowd-sourcing innovative ideas and solutions from the world’s best and brightest business school students. Then 2nd Annual HULT Global Case Challenge is organized by HULT International Business School in partnership with Water.org. The 2011 Challenge aims to identify solutions to the global clean water crisis, in partnership with Water.org.
The Hult Global Case Challenge provides an opportunity for college and university students to come together and develop solutions to accelerate clean water access and sanitation around the world.
