2010 Talks
Dr. Alex
Hills introduces us to today's
"New Young
Professionals"
Alex has
found ways to teach and encourage a new
generation of professionals to devote
themselves to solving the problems of
poverty, health and the social ills that
face the world. Working with colleagues, he
teaches, mentors, and places students of the
professions as consultants in government
agencies and nongovernmental organizations,
often in developing nations. For many of the
students, this is a life-changing experience
that causes them to refocus their lives. For
others, it brings about a commitment to
part-time work using their professional
skills to help others.
