Happenings: College of Wooster Partnership Recognition

The College of Wooster Social entrepreneur  program  involves  a six-week experiential-learning association with NGOs in Bangalore, India, in the summer. This past year, the group collaborated with Dream A Dream, and was here  for six weeks working closely together. Marianne Sierocinski, a senior urban studies major, said that one of GSE's major strengths is its structure as a student-driven initiative. “The experience empowers us to embrace ambiguity, take risks, and think creatively in the face of complex challenges,” she said. “It was an incredible learning opportunity for me to contribute so tangibly to the program's development, transforming a business plan I helped write in 2009 into a program I participated in this past summer." The objective is not only to provide experiential learning opportunities to train the next generation of global social entrepreneurs, but also to be of value to client organizations. The College of Wooster’s Global Social Entrepreneurship (Global SE) program has been cited for excellence by the Institute of International Education (IIE) - http://se.scotblogs.wooster.edu/ for the formal announcement. Dream A Dream is proud to associate with Global SE and looks forward to many more years of co-creating the future.
