Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn to Discuss New Book in Scarsdale

Scarsdale husband and wife team Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn will discuss their new book, A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity on November 6, 2014 at Scarsdale High School. The lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. with a reception to follow. There is no charge for admission; the lecture is open to all, regardless of residency; high school students are also welcome to attend.

Kristof, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist, is often called the "reporter's reporter" for his human rights advocacy and his efforts to give a voice to the voiceless. WuDunn, the first Asian-American reporter to win a Pulitzer Prize, is a business executive and best-selling author. She works with entrepreneurs in new media, media technology, and social enterprise at a small investment banking boutique in New York City. Their most recent book discusses philanthropic innovators across the U.S. and around the world who are using research, evidence-based strategies, and brilliant ideas of their own to fight some of the twenty-first century's most intractable problems: poor early-childhood education, sex trafficking, inner-city violence, poverty and malnutrition, homelessness, and many others.
