Harris Gevinson

I am a current student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing an undergraduate degree. In combining a rigorous academic experience with professional roles, I have exemplified my ability to launch entrepreneurial endeavors and manage key relationships. Currently, I am the Founder of DonateContacts, a successful nonprofit organization aimed at providing underprivileged children with unused contact lenses. In this role, I have formed and developed a positive and lasting partnership with Feed the Children in order to enable a smooth donation disbursement process. I preside over the acquisition of donated contact lenses from across the US as well as Canada, England, and multiple other countries. My role in leading DonateContacts has helped me gain experience with entrepreneurship, fundraising, opportunity creation, partnership management, networking, and team leadership. In my academic experience, I have completed challenging studies in business areas while working towards a BS in Economics.
