The M. Night Shyamalan Foundation (MNSF), locally based and world-focused, is hosting their first-ever panel discussion, “Action for a Better World,” featuring founders M. Night Shyamalan and his wife, Dr. Bhavna Shyamalan, Vice President of the MNSF, with three of this year's MNSF grantees, to discuss their work and the progress of the Foundation. The event—MNSF’s first public program—is presented in partnership with the Global Philadelphia Association and the Penn Museum.
