The Carol and Larry Levy Social Entrepreneurship Lab

Activities

Social Entrepreneurship Competition
The goal of the Social Entrepreneurship Competition is to inspire students to think about social problems and ways to address these problems that leverage best business practices in new and creative ways across all leadership sectors: non-profit, public and for-profit. The competition will provide students the opportunity to conceive new social ventures and get expert feedback on their plans. Winners of the competition will be given an audience with decision makers and have the opportunity to see their ideas brought to fruition. Read about the first Levy Social Entrepreneurship Lab competition in partnership with the CHEST Foundation.

Speaker Series
The Social Entrepreneurship Lab will invite leaders of social change each year to address the Kellogg community. The objective of this speaker series is to inspire students to take positive action, to become aware of the challenges they are likely to face in bringing about social change, to learn from the experiences of speakers and to engage in discussions that will broaden their perspectives.

Entrepreneur-in-Residence Program
The Entrepreneur-in-Residence program will bring world class leaders in social enterprise and social entrepreneurship to Kellogg and allow students to spend a few days talking with the entire Kellogg community.

Both, fellowships and internships can be obtained through independent job searches. The Career Management Center, the Center for Nonprofit Management and the Net Impact Club are all good resources.
