As David Bornstein and Susan Davis succinctly defined, “Social
entrepreneurship is a process by which citizens build or transform
institutions to advance solutions to social problems, such as poverty,
illiteracy, environmental destruction, human rights abuses and
corruption, in order to make life better for many.”*

Social Entrepreneurship in Action May 16-17, 2013 on the campus of The
