A Conversation with Tom Steyer

Join us for a fascinating conversation with former 2020 presidential candidate, philanthropist, investor, businessman and climate activist Tom Steyer. This highly interactive in-person conversation open to the Syracuse University campus will be led by Jay Golden, Pontarelli Professor of Environmental Sustainability and Finance and director of the Dynamic Sustainability Lab at Syracuse University.

The conversation will explore Tom’s pathway from Wall Street investor to founding a highly successful hedge fund and then making the pivot to being one of the best-known and respected climate and environmental activist in addition to his passion for philanthropy. We will explore Tom’s views on how the investment community and geopolitics are both driving and impeding meaningful progress and how they can be more effective through greater collaboration. Tom will also share his views and advice for students interested in making impactful impacts through their careers and personal lives. 

Pizza will be provided.
