Description

SIP is a monthly program-based happy hour with informal community conversations about pressing social issues. Prova Lab is an organization dedicated to catalyzing social innovation. A key element of this mission is our engaged & supportive network of collaborative, purpose-driven people. This group includes social impact & nonprofit professionals, educators, social entrepreneurs, and other folks in the community who are interested in learning more about social issues. Our 2021 SIP programming will be focused on climate justice. We continue this month with Professor Alice Kaswan from USF, who will chat with us about what "justice" means in the context of climate justice.
