Info Session: MBA in Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
Event Information
Description
Interested in social enterprise? Want to make a difference in the world?
Join us for an information session about Canada’s first MBA in social enterprise and entrepreneurship at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN).
MUN's MBA in social enterprise and entrepreneurship is purposefully designed to prepare students to become a new kind of leader for a new way of doing business – one that’s based on the three pillars of sustainability: people, planet, and profits. We aim to develop graduates who will be agents of social change — whether that be in the non-profit, public or for-profit sectors — capable of addressing complex social problems in creative and effective ways.
Come out and meet Nicole Helwig, Manager of Memorial's Centre for Social Enterprise and discover how you can become an ambassador for lasting social change!

Organizer Institute for Community Prosperity
Organizer of Info Session: MBA in Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
The Institute for Community Prosperity connects learning, research and change leadership to build community and strengthen the common good. We emerged from the former Institute for Nonprofit Studies, which served for 13 years as Canada’s only university-based institute focused on research into Canada’s nonprofit sector.
Community Prosperity is our name and our purpose. We aspire to live in communities that are prosperous - not only economically, but also socially, ecologically, and culturally. We are committed to ensuring that students and citizens have access to learning opportunities and research that will help them lead transformative change in their communities. Three core values inform our work – empathy, creativity and courage. These values translate into three learning themes that define our focus: philanthropy, social innovation and transformative leadership.
