Laboratorio de Emprendimientos Sociales’ Post

Dr. Brennan Lowery is looking forward to helping students develop tools to pursue social entrepreneurship and gain real-world experience in social enterprise. Beginning January 2025, Dr. Lowery will be teaching three courses at STU — BUSI 1003: Introduction to Social Enterprise, BUSI 1013: Social Enterprise Case Studies, and BUSI 3053: Social Enterprise Work-Study. “The problems facing our society, like climate change and rapid shifts in community economies, need all possible solutions on the table,” Lowery said. “Social entrepreneurship is an important avenue for creating place-based solutions because they harness the entrepreneurial spirit of individuals or groups that see new opportunities but are grounded in addressing complex societal issues and changing the relationship between business and the community.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4045aAs

We didn't have it figured out. Starting From Me To You ... The Art Of Survival with my mum Judith Neptial was a journey about discovery, it was about doing something with what I had. When my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2018, we didn’t just want to survive; we wanted to thrive, even in uncertainty. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of the next step, consider this: 🔑 The smallest steps forward matter. 🔑 Resilience comes from action. 🔑 Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Social entrepreneurship taught me that no situation is too big to tackle if you start with one simple question: What can I do today?

I've just completed the Social Entrepreneurship course through HP LIFE! 🎓 This journey has opened my eyes to how business principles can be leveraged to create meaningful social impact.

Looking forward to applying these learnings to make a positive difference in my community. Let's connect and share ideas ! #SocialEntrepreneurship #HPLife #ContinuousLearning"
