If you could make a change—any change you wanted—what would it be?  Would it be something in your school or other organization? Maybe something in your community, industry or throughout society as a whole? If you had a magic wand that would allow you to instantly change anything you wanted, what would that change look like?

Creating true change is never easy. Most startups don’t survive. Most community groups never get beyond small local actions. Even when a spark catches fire and protesters swarm the streets, it often seems to fizzle out almost as fast as it started. The status quo is, almost by definition, well entrenched and never gives up without a fight.

Greg Satell, author of the groundbreaking new book, Cascades, will be here to talk about why some movements succeed and others fail. If you’d like to change the world, or even just your little corner of it, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Brought to you by the Carolina Seminar on Social Innovation, Campus Y and Innovate Carolina. Light refreshments will be served.
