Students for Social Entrepreneurship

Students for Social Entrepreneurship is a group of students dedicated to the establishment and growth of the field of social entrepreneurship. Our group is made up of majors ranging from comparative literature to Arabic, and business to chemical engineering; this field isn’t so much about what you’re studying, as it is about how you’re using that knowledge to solve social issues.

 

We’re a group of young people that believes we can see the end of poverty in our lifetime. We’re a generation that believes we must build sustainable businesses. Above all, we are people interested in doing good, in finding meaning in our daily work, and using what we have to make a difference in the social issues we see around us. We believe social entrepreneurship is the answer to all of this.

Students for Social Entrepreneurship offers a number of different ways for students to get involved, including events, on-campus internships, the Social Entrepreneurship Institute, and Social Venture Start-Up Group.

Every semester, Students for Social Entrepreneurship collaborates with well-known social enterprises and social entrepreneurs to develop unique projects for students to participate in. These On-Campus internships allow students a chance to develop professional skills while staying on campus, and deepen their understanding of social entrepreneurship through applied learning. In turn, the organizations receive high-quality work and an additional source of innovative ideas. The On-Campus Internships start with a competitive applications process prior to each semester.
