He achieves change collaboratively. This is clear in the endeavors that he has launched and his intellectual outputs. He is also kind and a great conversationalist.   All these elements are essential for changing society for the better and with Roshan here students get to hear it from someone who has done it and to ask him questions. It’s very exciting to have him here with us as the inaugural Kroc School Social Innovator-in-Residence." ![Paula Cordeiro](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/so8sb_spuYrj8TAHjCnyzgZ4Sz4F6YTYktyIg9TIxklk3KEF7tbOtRQkGSysgtA_KRKBIFVBFp-BtJ7sI5B7-Ka_byUHtPNNKooqsiuRYhntLAEhwEzdIuhVji_z8OaA4cWDSuwLq-OtNzOlT6Vn5djraKgP-Ia-7Tv_do8llZcCPnEscfgEaTAtPg)Paula Cordeiro, the Kroc School’s Dammeyer Distinguished Professor of Global Leadership and Education, said of Paul's visit to campus, "I couldn’t be happier that Kroc School students will have an opportunity to meet social innovator Roshan Paul. Paul’s recent co-authored book—[*The New Reason to Work: How to Build a Career that Will Change the World*](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781544525174)—is a book students can use to shape their careers and find new directions. I think people at every career stage can benefit from reading this book to understand their options and pursue a career with purpose. Roshan Paul has worked internationally and in the United States and has done a wonderful job of connecting global citizens to solve social problems across boundaries. He has lived and worked all over the world as he helped social entrepreneurs to scale their innovations. The Kroc School is fortunate to have him as our first Social Innovator-in-Residence.” Kroc School students at the University of San Diego looking to meet with Roshan Paul [should register to attend this event.](https://www.sandiego.edu/events/peace/detail.php?_focus=86591) *Interested in learning more about social innovation?
