U-Go Celebrates our 2nd Anniversary
February 20 & 21, 2024
In February 2022, just two years ago, a new initiative called U-Go was launched. Our goal was to help tens of thousands of ambitious and promising young women from low-income countries to achieve their dream of attending university and moving on to promising careers that will not only help them, but also their families and communities.
In <700 days, those who came together to launch U-Go have begun operations in 9 countries, raised over $12 million of capital commitments, fully funded 2,500 U-Go scholars for each year of their university until graduation, and….had fun while doing it! And we greatly appreciate everything you have done to help us to get this far this quickly.
Now it’s time to celebrate! ☺ As key friends of U-Go, please join us for this invitation-only event to toast U-Go’s 2 year anniversary, and to hear our bold plans for what we will achieve in 2024 and beyond. We will hold two sessions so as to be time-zone friendly with all parts of the world.
Highlights:
Welcoming remarks from Poppy Harlow, anchor of CNN This Morning
Opening address by Dr. Richard Thaler, Distinguised Professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
Inspiring stories of our scholars in Bangladesh, India and Indonesia as we unveil the first videos from our new U-Go story-telling project.
