Following an introduction by GU Politics Director Mo Elleithee, McCourt Global’s Chief Impact Officer Paula Recart joined Konstanze Frischen, a member of Ashoka’s Global Leadership group, for a conversation  about driving progress in an impactful way. 

Frischen was then joined on stage by three Ashoka Fellows featured in the book, Sixto Cancel, Albert Fox Cahn and Rosanne Haggerty, for a discussion about their experiences redesigning child welfare, tackling homelessness and defending privacy in the digital age.
