Network for Change is a program developed to connect, engage and inspire Cornellians
working in the field of social change. The Public Service Center works collaboratively
with an alumni host to create the evening's event. Past events have featured
a panel of alumni who speak about their history and involvement working for the
betterment of society. Network for Change provides a terrific forum to meet
others interested in the field, and be inspired by the exciting work being completed
by Cornellians in communities worldwide!
