- OUR MISSION
To initiate, here in the heart of Silicon Valley, an inclusive, ongoing exploration of technology’s impact on human flourishing in all its dimensions
- OUR VISION
Between September 2018 and April 2020, Santa Clara University is hosting a series of inclusive, inquiring events that bring experts together to explore the impact of technology on all aspects of what it is to be human. These round-table discussions, networking receptions, and focus groups will culminate in a first-of-its-kind conference engaging industry experts, educators, writers, influencers, and thought leaders from all walks of society. The conference will launch a permanent, unique initiative at Santa Clara University: a think-tank dedicated to advancing technological innovation that supports human flourishing for the benefit of all, particularly disenfranchised populations.
