CESR Fellows Updates: A speaker you won’t forget; An exclusive CSR job fair
An Extraordinary Speaker
February 22nd at 5pm in ECCR 139, Open to all students
CESR Fellows partners with the Leeds Association for Information Systems to bring Romain Vakilitabar, founder of PathosVR, a virtual reality lab creating empathy-based and perception-changing experiences.
His story is unlike anything you’ve ever heard:
After a bad accident where he was forced to contemplate life, Romain decided he would pursue a journey worth living. Since then, he published a children's book communicating climate change to younger audiences, traveled the world with Unreasonable at Sea, a social entrepreneurship accelerator on a ship, helping nine ventures scale globally, and helped build Watson University, a new university model for 25 of the world's most promising next generation leaders, as Vice President.
Romain is featured in the new books "2 Billion Under 20" and "Compassionate Careers," has spoken internationally, and was voluntarily homeless in the streets of Scandinavia to train his mental resilience and to test the dogma that “need is the mother of all invention.”
