Dear SUSI alumni,
Each year we contact our SUSI alumni—as you’re one of our greatest resources—to help distribute information about the Study of the U.S. Institute for Student Leaders.
As you’re well aware, SUSI is an intensive academic program whose purpose is to provide groups of undergraduate student leaders with a deeper understanding of the United States, while simultaneously enhancing their leadership skills. This year’s Institute on Social Entrepreneurship will consist of a balanced series of seminar discussions, readings, group presentations and lectures. The coursework and classroom activities will be complemented by educational travel to other parts of the United States, local site visits, and volunteer opportunities. The institute will include an academic residency component of approximately four weeks at the University of Texas at Austin and a domestic travel component of approximately one week that will conclude with a three-day program in Washington, D.C.
The Study of the U.S. Institute on Social Entrepreneurship will provide participants with an overview of how to employ entrepreneurial skills to address social issues. The Institute will review the development, history, challenges, and successes of social enterprises and community leaders, in the United States and globally. Topics may include microfinance; organizational development and management; grant writing; innovation; emerging markets and risk analysis; strategic business planning; corporate social responsibility; and women and minorities in entrepreneurship.
Please encourage any university students with whom you might be associated to read about the program and apply if they meet the qualifications. The deadline for applications is Friday, December 17, 2010.
Thank you for your assistance—
