Miami University's Center for Social Entrepreneurship creates hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for undergraduates and strives to give students the tools they need to leave their mark on the world. The Center defines social entrepreneurship as "innovative solutions to persistent social problems - particularly to those that are marginalized or poor - that create social value through sustainable, systemic change." These social problems include a wide range of sectors - financial, educational, environmental, governmental, nutritional, and many others. The Center challenges students to think about these issues, both in the U.S. and around the world, and provides them with the tools to address them in a meaningful way.

• Named "Best Program in Social Entrepreneurship" by the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) in 2012
• Recipient of more than $650,000 in federal grants for social entrepreneurship programs with international scholars through the U.S. Department of State
