I was unexpectedly moved to learn from first time panelists, such as Mike Soskil, the fruits that passion and positive results stem from simple global collaboration. I left feeling hopeful that someday the world will be a better and more equitable place for all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dana added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Social Good Summit brings together some of the world&#8217;s top thought-leaders, activists, and social entrepreneurs to discuss multifaceted solutions that harness the power of human capital and innovation for a better world. The Summit urges us to ask ourselves what kind of a world we want to live in by 2030 and then take ownership of that vision to make it a reality. We are all part of the connective tissue of society; together, we may each have a role in its healing.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; <a href=\"mailto:martin.edwards@shu.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Martin S.
