Reaching Our Students Together

We value the influence of our faculty in reaching students and contributing their expertise to advancing the social enterprise movement. Further, by mobilizing the university’s resources, we aim to foster collaboration between SCU faculty and social entrepreneurs around the world.

Teaching Resource Library

We offer a collection of teaching and scholarly resources for Santa Clara University faculty members, including the foundations of social entrepreneurship, key components of accelerating social enterprises, case studies, and pedagogical materials. 

Partner with Us

We’re excited to partner with Santa Clara University faculty to advance the teaching of social entrepreneurship. Miller Center’s annual faculty workshop introduces the field of social entrepreneurship, shares resources for curriculum development, and lays the foundation for co-creating meaningful research projects.
