Theme Features The Societal Cost of Unrealized Human Potential Vivienne Ming Friday, March 13 // 3:30pm // Room 408-409 There is enormous cost to unrealized human potential. A large pool of people remain unemployed and under-employed, and many more whose opportunities were lost long before they entered the workforce.

David Brake Sunday, March 15 // 9:30am // Room 407 Should the goal of higher education be to equip students to get a job or create a job? Today, half of all US college grads are unemployed or under-employed, freelancers make up over 1/3 of the workforce, and careers rarely mean staying with the same employer.
