Social Entrepreneurship Events

In cooperation with the Business and Accounting Division at CPCC and Heifer International, CPCC Libraries are proud to present two events focusing on the topic of social entrepreneurship. At each event information regarding CPCC’s Institute for Entrepreneurship and service-learning opportunities will be available. Attendees will also have a chance to win a door prize and light refreshments will be provided by the Family Resource Center.

What is social entrepreneurship? It is a way to create meaningful solutions to social problems using entrepreneurial principles. Social entrepreneurs start ventures with the goal of creating social change. They work in a variety of environments including non-profit, government, and private sectors.
