🏅 Simran Seth (CGS’23, Questrom’25) and her team won at a global women’s empowerment conference sponsored by UNESCO and the luxury fashion brand Dior. Their nonprofit business-incubator, Project Meraki, helps economically disadvantaged women artisans become entrepreneurs by teaching them crafting and business skills.

"Our artisans are based in rural towns in India, and many of them are financially dependent on the men in their lives,” says Simran, “...I think business, in general, has the ability to change your life in so many ways,” she says. “And as women, it’s really nice to have it as a tool for being financially independent.”

Simran Seth and her team are the living embodiment of our school's mission, to use business to create value for the world. ⚡

Today is Flag Day 🦅 🇺🇸
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the first U.S. flag, sewn by Betsy Ross. It featured 13 red and white stripes and 13 stars on a blue field, representing the original colonies and equality. The colors symbolize valor (red), purity (white), and loyalty (blue). The flag has changed 26 times, last in 1959 when Hawaii joined the Union.
