Description
Learn how students participating in the UW Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition are using business principles to redress global poverty issues. Featuring keynote speaker Bill Clapp, co-founder and Chair of Global Partnerships, the 2008 GSEC Reception and Awards Banquet will celebrate a record-breaking year for the program.

The UW Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition (GSEC) is a business plan competition in which students from around the world find creative, commercially sustainable ways to address problems of poverty in the developing world.  It is a leading edge approach to "doing well by doing good" in that it teaches and promotes the use of business principles, by young people, for positive social change on a global scale.

During the reception, attendees will have the chance to meet GSEC teams and learn about their business plans and their GSEC experience.  The banquet will highlight current and past GSEC participants and Mr. Clapp will discuss the successes and impacts of social entrepreneurship as a means for redressing global poverty.  Prizes for the competition winners will be awarded.

GSEC is organized by the UW Global Business Center at the Michael G. Foster School of Business, with the support of the UW Department of Global Health.
