Hello!

Brown Data Science is hosting an event with diiVe this Thursday, October 31, from 12-1 PM in CIT 368. Come to hear from a Brown alum about the organization she co-founded!

Elspeth Boynton, Brown alumna ’11, is coming to campus to share her journey from Brown to consulting multinational companies in Cape Town, South Africa. Currently, Elspeth also runs a summer abroad program for university students and recent graduates, offering courses in Management Consulting, Data Science and Blockchain Tech. Check diiVe out and come chat to her about her experiences from rural NGOs to Big 4 firms.

Since completing her undergraduate degree at Brown University and a Masters at the University of Cape Town, Elspeth has coordinated global student internships, driven sustainable solution initiatives for numerous NGOs (both in the USA and South Africa) and led community impact programs. She is passionate about transnational learning and cross-cultural experiences. Recently, she has been consulting for EY around digital transformation, leadership development, and purpose-led change, and has just finished designing a future-focussed curriculum for a leading university in South Africa. Elspeth co-founded diiVe, a learning organization based in Cape Town, that provides students with a unique, global experience that develops their digital, innovation and entrepreneurial capability, guides their direction, and builds their capacity, as leaders, to drive real impact in their future careers.

We hope to see you there this Thursday, 12-1 PM in CIT 368!
