BioLarry Litvak has been a Lecturer in Urban Studies since 2010, and in Public Policy since 2014. He was one of the principals in developing two highly successful, socially-oriented business ventures: Walden Asset Management, one of the pioneers of socially responsible investing, and Working Assets/CREDO Mobile, a telecommunications firm that has generated $78 million of support to progressive non-profits.

Albert Ray Lang Professor
