In March of 2009, Eric submitted the winning proposal to UC Berkeley’s Bears Breaking Boundaries Curricular InnovationContest with the course “The Economics of Philanthropy.”
The proposal beat out twenty-seven other proposals from graduate and undergraduate teams, taking home $5,000 for project implementation. The proposal came to fruition in January 2010 as an upper division course at UC Berkeley.
Thanks to generous support from Doris Buffett, president of the Sunshine Lady Foundation, students in the course will be selecting a Bay Area nonprofit to donate $10,000 to by the end of the Spring 2010 semester.

TEDxBerkeley is curated by UC Berkeley and the executive team from the Berkeley Computer Science Undergraduate Association (CSUA). Thanks to our sponsors, Dorsey & Whitney.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBerkeley, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBerkeley event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
