2026-04-12 11:00 - 15:30 | Razzo Hall, Traina Center for the Arts, 92 Downing St, Worcester, MA, 01610, United States
The Clark University Investments and Trading Society is proud to announce the AI, Fintech, and Startups Summit: Building the Tools of Tomorrow, designed to bring students into direct conversation with some of the most important ideas and industries shaping the future. As artificial intelligence continues to transform finance, business, entrepreneurship, and global competition, we believe students should have the opportunity not only to hear about these changes but to understand how they can engage with them personally, professionally, and intellectually.

This event will bring together leading voices working across AI policy, fintech innovation, and startup building for an afternoon of keynote talks, practical insights, and forward-looking discussion. Students will hear directly from professionals who are actively building, advising, and shaping the future of technology and finance.

Our featured speakers include:

Russ Wilcox — advisor on AI to the U.S. Senate and PentagonSri Krishnamurthy — AI advisor to financial institutions and private equity firmsShenhao Cao — fintech founder and builder of AI tools for financial systemsYing Zou — Founder of SymbioAI

Throughout the summit, students will gain exposure to how AI is changing finance and global industries, how emerging technologies are influencing the future of startups and entrepreneurship, what responsible and trustworthy AI looks like in practice, and what it takes to build and grow ideas in one of the fastest-moving sectors of our time.

This is not just an event for students already involved in business or technology. It is for anyone who wants to better understand where the world is going. Whether your interests are in finance, economics, computer science, political science, entrepreneurship, public policy, marketing, or simply the future of work and innovation, this summit is meant to be accessible, relevant, and valuable. We want students from all backgrounds to feel welcome and encouraged to attend.

In addition to hearing from an outstanding group of speakers, students will also have the chance to build connections, explore new ideas, and engage with conversations that reach far beyond the classroom. We see this summit as an opportunity to bring together ambitious students who are curious about the future and want to learn from people already operating at a high level within it. RSVP here.

As a student-led organization, we are especially grateful for the support that has helped make this event possible. The Clark University Investments and Trading Society would like to sincerely thank the Dean of the College for supporting this initiative and for helping encourage the kind of ambitious, forward-looking programming that gives students access to meaningful real-world learning opportunities outside the classroom.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an exciting, timely, and inspiring event.

Ensemble Telemaque: Sounds, Tears and Skins
2026-04-13 19:30 - 21:00 | Clark University, Higgins Lounge, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor, 36 Maywood Street, Worcester, MA, 01603, United States
In 2018, Ensemble Télémaque created the October Lab, an international platform for musical creation that aims to produce and disseminate new works that transcend styles and trends. To this end, commissions are awarded to composers from around the world, built around continually renewed themes.

Sounds, Tears and Skins marks Ensemble Télémaque’s first collaboration with artists from the United States. Led by Raoul Lay, the ensemble is commissioning this year a new generation of American composers: David Dominique, Yu-Hui Chang, John Aylward, and Kate Soper, who are developing new musical works based on French and American texts that were written in, or left a significant imprint on, both Marseille, France, and the United States.

The project also establishes a dialogue between four literary figures of the twentieth century: Claude McKay, Mary Jayne Gold, Franz Werfel, and Antonin Artaud — all of whom experienced various forms of discrimination and alienation linked to either their gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, or ideological and political convictions.

Through the 20th-century histories these literary figures trace, our project explores the notions of travel and migration of marginalized communities who are connected by their intersections with the U.S. and Marseille, France. Our project asks our commissioned composers to respond to the fractured moments in history that their authors experienced and the frightening similarities to our present day: comparisons that raise profound questions.

Our event will consist of four works in which spoken and sung voices will engage in dialogue with the instrumental writing, allowing the intertextuality of the diverse literary figures represented to resonate.

In spring 2026, Ensemble Télémaque is traveling around the United States to perform the works of the four commissioned composers in concert, before welcoming them again in Marseille for new performances in autumn 2026.
