Date: March 03, 2012
Time: 07:30 AM - 02:30 PM

You are invited to join us for a conference about how we are creating and sustaining social change through creative thinking, entrepreneurship, law and technology. Weekend U: Changing the World through Social Entrepreneurship will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at the University Place Conference Center and Hotel on the IUPUI campus.  Social entrepreneurship occurs when citizens build or transform institutions to advance solutions to social problems, such as poverty, illness, illiteracy, environmental destruction, human rights abuses, and corruption, to make life better for many. Is using social entrepreneurship to affect change the next big idea? This question will be analyzed at an upcoming continuing education conference presented by your alumni association. Inspired by IUPUI’s Common Theme book How to Change the World andndash; Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas by David Bornstein, our distinguished panel of faculty and local changemakers will examine the organizational characteristics, strategies, and personal qualities of a successful social entrepreneur and why this is important to all of us.
