Students examined the first purchases ever made by refugees in Lesbos—thanks to Mastercard technology. These scenes and others were part of a heartstring-tugging, space-bending event hosted Oct. 12 throughout Olin&＃8217;s atrium. During the event, the technology company used its worldwide support of refugee services to demonstrate the power of its technology&＃8212;and encourage students to give the company a look as they complete their business school education. Mastercard memorialized the event and WashU&＃8217;s place in it with&＃160;a three-minute video&＃160;that outlined the program and its connection with students, technology, and refugees halfway around the world. &＃8220;How can Mastercard compete with tech companies like Google for top tech and engineering students?&＃8221; the narrator says at the video&＃8217;s opening. &＃8220;We decided to play by our own rules and set out to make students not just see, but feel the impact they could make at Mastercard.&＃8221; The event opened&＃160;with a four-minute film&＃160;about the refugee crisis in Lesbos and how prepaid card technology helped provide resources to refugees. Students could stroll the Olin atrium and view an exhibition entitled &＃8220;My First Purchase,&＃8221; showing some of the purchases refugees there had made with the help of Mastercard technology. Later in the event, students watched a concert live-streamed from Greece, overlaid with performers in Frick Forum accompanying the musicians across the sea. &＃8220;I felt like I was almost in Greece on the other side,&＃8221; said one student. The event closed with a panel discussion featuring Nina Nieuwoudt, Mastercard&＃8217;s vice president, product management;&＃160;Michael Fracarro, Mastercard&＃8217;s chief human resources officer;&＃160;Kelly Joscelyne, Mastercard&＃8217;s chief talent officer (and the program moderator); Todd Milbourn, Olin&＃8217;s vice dean; and Edgar Aguilar, Mastercard&＃8217;s&＃160;executive vice president, information technology and human resources. &＃8220;We&＃8217;re keeping families together even when they&＃8217;ve been torn away from their home country,&＃8221; Nieuwoudt said.
