In a recent Facebook post, Cornwell says “Imagine all of the ingenuity, focus, and clarity of mission evident in the technology sector in Bangalore focused on addressing India’s social issues. Result: an incredibly vibrant, sophisticated, and effective approach to social change and the improvement of human welfare.” As
a result of the relationships with NGO’s Dream-A Dream, Enable India, and others, Bangalore became the first site of Wooster’s Global Social Entrepreneurship program. Cornwell hosted a lunch to express mutual appreciation to these NGOs who offered our students, faculty and alumni to put theory into practice as they develop entrepreneurial skills that will serve them now and well into the future. Grant said that “The hope would be to continue these relationships and expand into new opportunities for our students and the local agencies.”
Also discussed was the recent award. The College of Wooster’s (Global SE) program has been cited for excellence by the Institute of International Education (IIE). IIE, which also administers the Fulbright program, will honor Global SE with the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education — specifically internationalizing the campus through business education — at the Sixth Annual Best Practices in Internationalization Conference on March 18 in New York City.
