Happy MLK Day!
We hope you're enjoying (and hopefully taking a break from interviews) during the long weekend as today we honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and the legacy of the civil rights leader.
As a club, we're particularly excited about hosting the first ever Think in the Next Innovation Challenge, our upcoming partnership with Net Impact and Impact@Anderson to host the High Impact Tea with Scot Rank ('89), as well as a visit to the Maersk Shipping Terminal!
