Re: UWC Day: Thank you

[Kevin Jackson]

Hello fellow New York UWCers, 

I am writing to encourage you to go see 'Una Noche', the award winning film by our very own Lucy Mulloy (UWC - AC). 

The film is currently playing at the IFC in the West Village.

I saw it last week and it's probably the most powerful film I have seen this year. The NY times agree with me, so i'll let the professionals comment on the film :)

To the wonderful, vibrant and always inspiring UWC family, 

Thank you so much for joining us last Saturday at UWC Day New York. We had a fantastic time connecting with all of you, welcoming new people to the group, catching up with old friends and discussing a lot of topics that we all feel very passionately about. 

We also wanted to give a special thank you to our great panelists (Gadi Benmark, Lydia Bosire, Mukul Kumar, Kristin Man and Lucy Mulloy) who did an awesome job sharing their UWC experiences and discussing how these impacted their chosen career paths. We hope you all enjoyed interacting with them as much as we did. 

In true UWC style, it was refreshing to be in an environment where everyone was genuinely engaged in the conversation and committed to helping us move forward as a more united, well-connected community with a real purpose. 

We are excited to say that we will not be stopping there. Below are a few next steps to help you stay engaged with the topics we discussed and plans to implement the solutions we proposed. For everyone who could not attend last Saturday, this is also a great way to connect in the future and participate in upcoming initiatives.
