The educational system is in a state of flux, with growing
pressure for educators to innovate—but resources are scarce. Social
entrepreneurship can transform schools, creating a new collaborative learning
environment. It also provides an opportunity to resolve issues that many educators
face. This special presentation will outline how instructors can apply
SE theory to positively impact their local communities and schools.
Light refreshments will be served. RSVP to Francis Francois at francis.francois@myunion.edu or 305-653-7141.
