2008 Social Innovation Competition
The RGK
Center at the University of Texas at Austin is looking for university
students nationwide with ingenious entrepreneurial ideas that will
change the world. The RGK Center is asking students to dream up a plan
that combines creativity and innovation to tackle a pressing social
issue for a chance to win $50,000 and put their plan into action. This
is the first year that the competition has been opened to students
outside of the state of Texas, and we would appreciate your help in
reaching out to students from George Washington University who are
interested in social entrepreneurship.
We have just extended the entry deadline to February 15, 2008. Students can enter in just five minutes here:

We are
very excited about giving students the opportunity to apply the skills
they gain in the classroom in a tangible, entrepreneurial setting. I
have included below an announcement which may be sent out to students.
I look forward to working with you in the future to develop students'
interest in social entrepreneurship. If you have any questions
regarding the Social Innovation Competition, please contact myself or
the Program Coordinator, Heather Alden (heather.alden@mail.utexas.edu).
