Alumni came together at Boston University on November 3, 2007 to network; hear from leaders in education, policy, and many other fields; and discuss concrete ways to reach our vision. Participants also reconnected with old friends and heard about Teach For America’s progress and ambitious future goals. See photos from the day.
