"Philanthropy and Social Impact" filled up quickly. Over the course of the semester, students listened to guest lecturers from high on the roster of giving: Rachel Levin of the nonprofit consulting firm Fundamental, Robert Egger of L.A. Kitchen, Bobby Turner from Turner Impact Capital, Victoria Jackson from the Jackson-Guthy Foundation, John Kobara of the California Community Foundation — even Steve Ballmer, the L.A. Clippers owner, former Microsoft CEO and a leading philanthropist. The students got a sense of how these philanthropists and entrepreneurs made their giving decisions.
