GLOBAL SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP (GSE) SEMINAR. A problems-centered, preparatory seminar that seeks to understand solutions to the social and economic challenges faced by people living in poverty. Students refine their understanding of social entrepreneurship and economic development, explore the ethics and philosophy of global engagement, build cultural sensitivity skills that enable them to work in the developing world, and research a social problem from a multidisciplinary perspective with an eye to innovation. The problems studied within the course are tailored to fit the summer experience. Students are also asked to attend a fundraising/social venture capital clinic. Applications are due in the Fall. Applications dates are posted on the SE website.
