Harvard is willing to subsidize the cost of attending their Social Enterprise Conference (http://www.socialenterpriseclub.com/conference/) on March 2, 2008 if we can get 10 students to go! This is a tremendous opportunity to become immersed in the social enterprise sphere. And, as Rukesh will tell you, it is worth every penny and minute to go.

Additionally, we will continue to negotiate subsidies AND search for other sources of funding from Brown in order to allow for as many of you to come as possible.

Date: Sunday, March 2
Time: 7:30-5pm (we can go whenever we want)
Location: Harvard Business School’s Spangler Center
