By becoming a member of the SEAD SAC, you will have the opportunity to shape the field of social entrepreneurship education at Duke and network with key researchers, innovators, and faculty involved in social entrepreneurship!
What is the SEAD SAC?
The purpose of the SEAD SAC is to bring together diverse students interested in global health and social entrepreneurship with the goal of informing thought around global health and social entrepreneurship education, practice and research; students will contribute to institutionalization of programs that serve student needs in these areas. The Student Advisory Council will also foster cross-disciplinary student networking and collaboration in global health entrepreneurship.
What is the SEAD SAC member obligation?
Members of the SEAD SAC will serve as a liaison between students and the SEAD program and are responsible for identifying, developing, implementing, and promoting a variety of activities that will inspire and actively engage students, as well as support them in their own pursuit of innovation in global health. The SEAD SAC currently functions through three working groups, and each member is expected to be part of at least one group and contribute to its projects throughout the year. The working groups are as follows:
1. Academic: Focused on inspiring students through incorporation of global health innovation and social entrepreneurship into academic and co-curricular activities, such as course content/projects, speakers, workshops, and case competitions.
2. Experiential: Identify and promote experiential learning for Duke students in global health innovation and social entrepreneurship; identify ways to provide support for student social entrepreneurs focused on global health (for example, through internship and career resources or mentorship opportunities)
3. Research and Evaluation: One of the ways in which SEAD aspires to promote global health innovation is via systematic analysis of the challenges businesses face as they attempt to scale; this can be achieved through interdisciplinary research that identifies best practices for innovation growth and disseminate these to the field. This group works to identify how training and opportunities across Duke schools and programs may equip students to engage in SEAD-themed research through standard curricula, as well as design new opportunities with faculty and innovators for students to initiate and/or participate in global health innovation research projects and program evaluation.
Students who are part of the SEAD SAC will be expected to attend monthly meetings, take on at least one (team) project during the year, provide input into other SEAD student engagement efforts, and promote SEAD student engagement activities within their academic and extra-curricular programs.
