At the Center for Social Value
Creation, we're constantly challenging our students to
find their own unique "moments of obligation" -- the
experiences that will shape not only their future
careers and lives, but the lives they have the potential to
change in their roles as business leaders in the 21st
century. Whether through our Social Venture
Consulting Program, our Global Impact Program, or the
many individual programs and opportunities we create for
our students, the impact of your gift has the potential
to be multiplied many times over. View a selected
list of
giving opportunities, or contact
Kathi Dantley-Warren for information on endowment or
special opportunities.
