From a case I’m reading about the CEO of a for-profit social enterprise (develops technology for self-powered radios and other devices for the developing world—products outperform those of tech companies like sony by 100-500%):

Financial Crisis - and why I love my school
In times of major crisis, it is a privilege to be connected to institutions and people who are experts in the field and who can offer their contextual perspective to how global crises may affect us personally.
Case in point, we received this email yesterday from our dean of students (below); I encourage you to check out the link to the virtual town hall if interested. Though it will be geared towards MBA students who are 8 months to a year and a half from re-entering the working world, I imagine that Professor Harvey will have comments that will be of interest to everyone--as this is a situation that will likely affect the daily lives of most of us in one way or another.

"As you are well aware, we are in the midst of rapidly moving, highly disruptive, global crisis in the financial arena. The challenges presented are unprecedented for governments, institutions, businesses, and individuals. We recognize these events are creating a great deal of apprehension and uncertainty to those of you who have been considering a career in finance. Indeed, even those of you who are considering a career outside of finance know you will be impacted by the current turmoil.
All of us quickly need a better understanding of the magnitude of the situation and some thoughtful insights into how you may be affected by the global financial crisis. To that end, I am very pleased announce that Professor Campbell Harvey has agreed to offer his views on the causes, the consequences, and the resolution of the current crisis. Professor Harvey has been widely quoted in the press on the crisis. For example, he was quoted yesterday in Business Week.
We tried to schedule a town hall-style meeting today [Wednesday], but there was a conflict with the Finance Symposium. So as an alternative, we offer:
1. Virtual town hall. We will post a video stream tomorrow afternoon at http://www.fuqua.duke.edu with remarks by Professor Harvey and answers to your questions. Please email your questions to agt@duke.edu by 10:00am tomorrow and use the subject line "Financial Crisis."
2. Town hall. There will be a forum for our Daytime students on Tuesday, September 23rd from 4:00pm to 5:00pm in Geneen Auditorium. The video stream of the forum will be posted on the Fuqua website.
Professor Harvey is uniquely qualified to discuss the situation. He is the J. Paul Sticht Professor of International Business here at Fuqua and is widely recognized as one of the world's most eminent scholars in finance, especially in the areas of portfolio management and global risk management. He currently serves as Editor of the Journal of Finance, the premier academic journal in the field. Professor Harvey is also a consultant to some of the world's leading asset managers. "
