Affiliated Faculty

Practitioner Affiliates

Social Enterprise is best learned from people who are actually doing it.

Their advice about real-world practicalities is essential to keep our degree anchored in actual practice, rather than ideas about actual practice. They serve as guest speakers in our classes, sources of feedback on student ventures, coaches and mentors to our students, and internship providers. Our Practitioner Affiliates join us from the following organizations:
