In "Ballparks as Urban Anchors" we welcome CEOs and experts representing the Philadelphia Phillies, Cleveland Indians, Washington Nationals, and Florida Marlins to discuss the distinct challenges that baseball teams and ballparks face as urban anchor institutions.
Earlier that day, we explore, in conjunction with the Center for Health Behavior Research, the impact of video games and recess on children's health and well-being.
Please join us for one or both event!
