Description
Academic Affairs in conjunction with E'Ship & Community Service Club are pleased to welcome Lily Cole, fashion model, actress and social entrepreneur to campus for a talk at 6:30pm at the RISD Fleet Library. An advocate for socio-political and environmental issues, Lily has employed technology, writing, filmmaking and public speaking as means to build awareness and encourage dialogue. Two years ago, she began developing impossible.com, a social network that encourages users to exchange skills and services for free in the hope of encouraging a peer-to-peer gift economy.
