Your passionate interest in these issues surrounding the Trump Foundation and the Clinton Foundation were my motivation. You were my inspiration for putting together tonight's event to talk about the Trump Foundation and the Clinton Foundation. So, before we get started, I would just like to welcome all of my Public Administration 601 students in the audience this evening. As Nancy said I'm Rebecca Tekula, and I'm the Executive Director of the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship here at Pace, and I'm also on the faculty of Public Administration. Thank you.Ġ:03:18 Prof Rebecca Tekula: Thank you, Nancy. And now, I am happy to introduce Professor Rebecca Tekula, Executive Director of the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship. Although, I would advise all philanthropic organizations to comply with New York State Regulations for its certified charities, and other legal requirements. In practice, it is not possible, or desirable to completely separate these two impulses.
And as a result, our students are often deeply, politically engaged, while also preparing themselves for careers in the non-profit sector. People are drawn to gender studies or peace and justice studies, as teachers or as students, because they care very much about issues of social inequality, and racial and gender hierarchies. So, it's not surprising there can be considerable overlaps, between the two industries in terms of personnel and sources of funding.Ġ:02:17 PROFESSOR REAGIN: These overlaps are evident, not only in the work of the foundations that are the subject of tonight's panel, but also in my own department and in the lives of our students. You only go into either field, if you care very much about some issue, and you want to work on it or to fund it. People, both in philanthropy and politics, are trying to effect social change. Tonight's discussion will cover a constellation of issues about how politics and philanthropy intersect. And offer opportunities like this evening's event to leading scholars and public figures on campus to foster collaboration, conversation, to enrich the educational experience of our students, and to enhance the expertise of our faculty, because I'm sure I'll be learning something from tonight's panel. And we grew our Master's in Public Administration program in the New York City campus as well.Ġ:01:17 PROFESSOR REAGIN: In addition to creating new academic programs in this area, our university center like the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship, foster environments that encourage interdisciplinary thinking and collaborations. And in response to this demand, we've recently established our first undergraduate minor in Non-profit Studies, which if you're a student here you're welcome to talk about that with me. Our region has a particularly large number of non-profit organizations, and in recent years approximately one third of all Pace University graduates, were employed in the public sector and the non-profit sector.
At some point in our lives all of our students will be called upon to contribute to society. We're all excited about what should be a lively discussion tonight, the Trump Foundation, the Clinton Foundation and the 2016 election, and what does this all mean for philanthropy. Ġ:00:18 PROFESSOR REAGIN: I chair at the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, one of the co-sponsoring organizations for tonight's event, and I also chair the faculty council here on this campus. I'm Professor Nancy Reagin, I chair at the department, and I've heard all the jokes about my name. On behalf of all of us at Pace University, let me welcome you to tonight's event.
