The Boy Agender:  Making Change Happen

Cameron Brown, January 22, 2009

4:30pm - Rangos 2, UC

 

In his life, Cameron has both changed his own direction, and endeavored to change the world around him.

"Change" is on everyone's mind right now. As 1995 Carnegie Mellon Truman Scholarship candidates, he and his colleagues took extraordinary steps to affect change in their communities and beyond. While still undergraduates, they started AIDS programs and soup kitchens where none existed. They found things that were wrong and missing, and instead of sitting and watching, they went out and changed them. 

Cameron Brown, a Carnegie Mellon H&SS graduate in economics and Truman Scholarship winner, will speak about his career in technology, as well as his professions as a fashion design and perennial entrepreneur. Along the way, Cameron managed a nightclub in Manhattan which hosted the Studio 54 20th Anniversary party in 1997, and worked at JivaMukti Yoga Center in Manhattan. It was after working at the Yoga Center, where he served such clientele as Madonna, Sting, Christy Turlington, William Dafoe and Russell Simmons, that Cameron Brown decided to focus on fashion and technology.
