The Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator at Duke (SEAD), in partnership with USAID, mobilizes the Duke community—in collaboration with practitioners, investors, policymakers—to identify, assess, build capacity, and scale the impact of innovative solutions, technologies, and business models for global health. Duke’s Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship, International Partnership for Innovative Healthcare Delivery, and Duke Global Health Institute lead the program.
The Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) is a massively scaled, annual partnership between a university and a city in which existing university courses are directed towards that city’s self-identified ‘real-world’ sustainability and livability projects. SCYP typically directs between 20-35 courses, engaging 500+ students across 10+ disciplines who give 60,000+ hours of creative thinking and problem solving. SCYP is based on existing courses, existing city work plans, and existing administrative structures of universities and cities, making the model highly replicable and adaptable. Marc Schlossberg co-leads this program as Co-Director of the University of Oregon’s Sustainable Cities Initiative.
The Sustainability and Social Innovation Residential Academic Program (SSI RAP) at the University of Colorado Boulder provides an engaging academic, social and interdisciplinary environment for freshmen students living in the residential halls who are eager to solve the world’s most challenging problems. Building on the residence hall culture, students take social innovation courses, develop their own social ventures, and meet outstanding social entrepreneurs. SSI RAP was founded by Professor Susan Clarke; its lead Instructor and curriculum developer is Francy Milner.
