A Master Class in Collaborative Economics
Featuring Van Jones, JD

Presidio Graduate School is proud to offer a Master Class by Visiting Fellow Van Jones. This Master Class is open to the public.

About This Master Class:

Van Jones will present his latest thinking and plans on promoting Collaborative Economics. Rather than depending on top-down economic initiatives, citizens can use 21st-century digital technology to create bottom-up, people-powered innovations to fix the U.S. economy, protect and expand the middle class, and create pathways to prosperity for those who are locked out of it.

About Presidio’s Master Classes:

Offered through the PresidioPRO Center for Professional Development, our Master Classes are interactive keynote lectures by respected global sustainability thought leaders. They often include pre-readings and experiential exercises. Participants who register for the Master Class will receive instructions on how to prepare for the session. The Master Class will follow a mentoring session open only to Presidio students.
