SOCIAL
ENTERPRISE CONFERENCE
We are still selecting the date for Harvard's ninth annual Social Enterprise Conference.
Last year's conference featured three keynote speakers and 18 panels focused on a variety of topics in social enterprise. The keynotes and panels were organized around a theme of convergence, reflecting the increased tendency of government, nonprofit and for-profit enterprises to focus on social problems irrespective of functional silos. The conference highlighted some of the ways organizations collaborate across sectors and/or share best practices to create social value. As in years past, the day also included a career fair, an alumni networking event and a forum to share innovative ideas for social enterprise.
Registration for the 2008 Social Enterprise Conference will open in late
December. Please check the conference

Welcome Class of 2009! Welcome back Class of 2008!
At one point or another in our HBS careers, we all ask ourselves very important questions: How will I impact the world? What do I want to be remembered by? What role will I play in giving back to my community? When is the right time for me to devote more time and/or resources to serving others?
The answer will be different for each one of us. Some will engage in philanthropy and/or serve on nonprofit boards. Others will pursue careers in the nonprofit or government sectors. Still others will work to build partnerships between the nonprofit and for-profit sectors, or work from within the private sector to leverage business tools to achieve social impact.
For this reason, the goal of the Social Enterprise Club is to provide every single HBS student with the inspiration, the skills, the experiences, and the networks needed to positively impact the world, whichever way they decide to do so.
Our mission is to inspire, enable and support students to use leadership and management skills to achieve social impact. We seek to serve the ENTIRE HBS student body and not just students with specific interest in the nonprofit sector.
The club organizes a range of different programs in pursuit of our mission. To learn more about the club's activities, click here.
