TEDXHomer 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.
