Boston, the Changing Everything Edition

Jan 27, 2009 00:36

As some of you have no doubt heard, I have moved to Boston to start a new education nonprofit. This post is long overdue --- I moved almost three weeks ago --- but I've been keeping busy, and so telling everyone about what's going on has fallen by the wayside ( Read more... )

Eh, we talk all the time anyway. :)

You said "if you are not in Boston". I am not in Boston. There was no extra clause.

This sounds awesome! Are you planning for this to be a Boston-area only nonprofit? If not, I could totally name you some areas that could really use someone like you and yours. Let me know if there's anything I can do from across the country?

It already exists at four schools nation-wide --- MIT, the University of Chicago, Stanford, and NYU. The key in spreading it is finding the right students to decide to run it --- it takes a lot of work and organizational strength.

Per ESP, maybe the best name is something that sounds serious (for the sake of the funders), but has a playful acronym (for the sake of the kids and everyday reference)?

That's definitely reasonable. Although the kids won't be so directly engaged with the national organization, which makes the job a little bit easier.

that is all.

Re: you are awesome, Dan fclbrokle January 27 2009, 23:08:20 UTC

I appreciate the sentiment! Tell me again if this crazy thing works. :)

Daniel I want to wish you a lot of good luck in your next step in life, it is original and courageous at a time. I hope you'll have both the abilities and in time the funds to raise the Nonprofit in order to achieve your plans ( ... )

Veronica, thank you so much. We'll definitely be taking some of this advice and working with it! I hope that things are well with you.

Thanks. I am writing the first chapter of my PhD, always keeping a hope it will sometime end.
I will be glad to know if ever some of my proposals will ever reap some results

Good Luck
