Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship
Mission:
The mission of the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship is "to promote social change through entrepreneurship." The Center furthers this mission by serving students, nonprofit organizations and social enterprises with education, research, communication, and advisory service.
For nonprofit organizations, the Wilson Center provides scholarly research, academic programs, advisory services, and roundtable discussions. For business people the Center will offer a career-changing transition program to help them make the intellectual and cultural transition to work in the nonprofit sector. For Pace students, the Center will add additional nonprofit subject matter and courses to the University's current entrepreneurship offerings, and bring leaders and issues in social entrepreneurship to the campus.
For detailed information about the Center, you may click on the Wilson Center link on the right shaded column of this page.
