DETAILS
Spill the Milk! is an interactive Salon featuring special guest Jennifer Friend, J.D., CEO of Project Hope Alliance and a UC Irvine alumna (‘95, BA social ecology).
Ms. Friend and expert panelists will explore how to turn our “spills” into growth. The mess is part of the becoming! While we’re taught to avoid mistakes, true growth happens when we realize they reveal what matters. If you never reach for the carton, you’ll never spill the milk, but you’ll also never get the milk!
Presented by TEDxUCIrvine, the UC Irvine Alumni Association and the School of Social Ecology, the evening includes a live Q&A, activities and free snacks.
