KEYNOTE Jointly Sponsored by the Student Activities Programming Board and Quest Jim Keady Behind the Swoosh 1:00 pm, Campus Center Auditorium BIOGRAPHY Jim Keady was a soccer coach with the St. John’s University Red Storm, the NCAA “Division One” National Champions, when he stood up against Nike and their sweatshops and lost his job for doing so. Since then, he had made ending sweatshop labor his life mission. He has lived with factory workers in an Indonesian slum, trying to survive on their wage of 23 cents an hour and documented what their lives are really like. He also has met with Nike executives at every level, from retail store managers all the way up to Nike’s founder and Chairman, Phil Knight.
