Specific Ways To Engage

Social Enterprise Consulting

We believe that poverty is a personal problem for everyone, and the purpose of the Social Enterprise Consulting (SEc) group is to provide concrete opportunities for students to leverage their individual strengths and skill sets in order to positively contribute to a proactive solution. The SEc matches students with social enterprises with real strategic, development, human capital, or operational needs, trains them on how to be responsible partners, and supports them throughout their consulting engagement.

Project Pyramid

Project Pyramid, a Vanderbilt University organization, creates a community that addresses issues of poverty in an interdisciplinary classroom and through sustained partnerships with local and international organizations. Partner organizations collaborate with students throughout the semester, and students visit the organization over spring break. Organizations determine the scope of the project before the consultants are assigned, ensuring that the results will be relevant and useful. Partnership with Project Pyramid provides fresh insight, data-driven analysis, and actionable recommendations.
