Are you thinking about entering the Social Venture Plan Competition?
If so, BUS 3682 will help you develop an outstanding plan. Many of the former winners of SVPC were in this course. BUS 3682 (2 credits) is non-technical, workshop-style and designed for business and non-business students. It presents the basics of business planning for social venture. Each class session concentrates on a specific element of the SVPC plan template (2012 version pending), and is designed to accomplish the following:
- Provide students with the knowledge and skills to compete effectively in SVPC.
- Connect students to resources from the SPU faculty and community partners, experts in business and social venture.
