Jane Plitt has done extensive work in Rochester to open business opportunities to women and is a visiting scholar at the University. Her book, Martha Matilda Harper: How One Woman Changed the Face of Modern Business, was published by Syracuse University Press in 2000. Plitt's presentation will highlight how successful businesses have improved society without compromising the pursuit of profit both in the United States and throughout the world—a concept called social entrepreneurship. The event is free and open to the public, with a reception to follow in the Eisenberg Rotunda, Schlegel Hall. For additional information, call (585) 276-3500. Although free, advance registration is required online at http://www.rochester.edu/entrepreneurship/registration.html. All attendees that register will receive a free campus parking pass.
