About the Series
The Progress Energy Distinguished Speakers Series was created in 2008 to foster dialogue around engineering’s capacity to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges. The series is sponsored by Progress Energy, a Fortune 500 energy company headquartered in Raleigh that includes two major electric utilities serving approximately 3.1 million customers in the Carolinas and Florida.
Angel is the third Progress Energy Distinguished Speaker. The first was noted author, social critic and technologist Steven Berlin Johnson, who spoke in March 2008. The second address, in October 2008, was delivered by internationally recognized entrepreneur, scholar and commentator Vivek Wadhwa.
