Speakers on Campus

So this semester I've attended a good number of different events around campus.  Notable among these speaker events is Amartya Sen's visit to Upenn.  IEDP has also brought a good number of professional people involved in international development.  And I've had the honor to meet and even have dinner/lunch with some of the speakers whom I have learned a lot from.

The first one is Amartya Sen:
