A Conversation with Tom Steyer

Eggers Hall, 220

Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar

Join us for a fascinating conversation with former 2020 presidential candidate, philanthropist, investor, businessman and climate activist Tom Steyer. This highly interactive in-person conversation open to the Syracuse University campus will be led by Jay Golden, Pontarelli Professor of Environmental Sustainability and Finance and director of the Dynamic Sustainability Lab at Syracuse University.

The conversation will explore Tom’s pathway from Wall Street investor to founding a highly successful hedge fund and then making the pivot to being one of the best-known and respected climate and environmental activist in addition to his passion for philanthropy. We will explore Tom’s views on how the investment community and geopolitics are both driving and impeding meaningful progress and how they can be more effective through greater collaboration. Tom will also share his views and advice for students interested in making impactful impacts through their careers and personal lives. 

Pizza will be provided.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
