This forum’s a little quiet so figured I’d post the past week’s links the BAA has been putting on facebook about Brown Alumni:

Again this year Venture for America, founded by Andrew Yang ‘96, is holding its young entrepreneurs boot camp on Brown’s campus. At its conclusion, each participant will work for 2 years with a U.S. startup. Check out Brown Alumni Magazines’s 2012 article, and watch for news from this year’s bootcamp! http://www.brownalumnimagazine.com/content/view/3256/40/

Pencils for Promise founder Adam Braun ’06 talks with Forbes about his career’s biggest challenges and how his “relentless conviction and an unshakable work ethic” helped to overcome them.

For the second time in just weeks, NYTimes columnist Nicholas Kristof calls attention to South Sudan’s actions against civilians in the Nuba region, and to the lifesaving work done by Dr. Tom Catena '86. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/13/opinion/the-worst-atrocity-youve-never-heard-of.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

Congrats to Daveed Diggs ‘04, who brings his roles as Thomas Jefferson and Lafayette to Broadway tonight in “Hamilton”! Read his take on the fusion of hip-hop and musical theatre. http://www.wsj.com/articles/hamilton-roles-are-this-rappers-delight-1436303922

As temps near 90 today at Brown, we salute a new incentive for water conservation in the West: sassy bumper stickers. Our own Sheena Ruffin '05 worked on this public service campaign. Share if this makes you smile!

Calling all audiophiles! Doppler Labs CEO Noah Kraft '09 wants to change how you hear the world. His new wireless earphones will allow you to adjust everything you hear, from a crying baby on the subway to the bass at a concert. http://read.bi/1gq7h8O
