Tonight may be your chance to reduce poverty AND see a Harvard graduate speak!

We suppose the Harvard graduate part is less exciting than Natalie! Portman! “Garden State!” “Star Wars!” or, as the UC Berkeley events calendar notes, “Golden Globe Award-Winning actress and social activist”! Because, you know, celebrities do a lot to bring a crowd to obscure Northside buildings for a lecture on poverty.

We’ve never been inside Bechtel Engineering Center (Near Cory Hall, you say? Never heard of it.), but if some lonely EECS major happens by to catch a glimpse of the female Keanu Reeves saving the world, Portman (and the solving global poverty through microfinance something something) can be found tonight in Sibley Auditorium at 6 p.m.

Don’t need a youthful celebrity name in capital letters to pique your interest in ending poverty? Want to save the world on your own? Here’s the organization Portman is representing.
