Start-Up Economy Alumni Speak

You are invited to celebrate our new partnership with General Assembly

Through a pilot partnership with General Assembly, The New School is offering specially designed workshops for students and faculty. General Assembly is an exciting start-up company that offers a new model for learning the most in-demand skills of the 21st century and emergent creative economy – with an emphasis on technology, business and design. We invite you to the first of many workshops taught or moderated by successful entrepreneurs.

Succeeding on Your Own

This event will feature a panel of successful New School Graduates from Parsons, Lang, and NSPE who have been successful on their own in the creative or start up economy. They will share the lessons from their own experiences and identify the kinds of skills and personal resources that make a difference in this exciting new sector. The panel will be moderated by an instructor and entrepreneur from General Assembly.

Alumni Panel Members and their companies:

• Roanne Clare Adams, Owner & Creative Director of RoAndCo
• Austin Chang, Product Manager for Google
• Kelsey Conophy, Co-founder of WorkZeit
