LehighSiliconValley is the Baker Institute's flagship week-long winter term program immersing students in the Bay Area entrepreneurial ecosystem. For more than a decade, the Baker Institute brings together a network of founders, investors, CEOs and key stakeholders at startups and established companies for student-driven sessions that our LSV alumni often describe as transformational.
This information session will be an opportunity for you to ask questions of the facilitators, get to know some of the other students interested in the program, learn a little more about what goes on in this program before applying for this once in a lifetime opportunity!

09/19/2024 - 11:00am - A veteran of New York and national politics, Luis Miranda embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrants. In Relentless, he shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career-from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. Miranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of Hamilton, created by his son Lin-Manuel, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics, demographics, and society.
