Our accomplishments since we were founded in 2005 are largely from bootstrapping for the first twenty years— and thanks to the kindness of many leaders on campus and in our community, who have generously given of their time and talent. Today the Social Impact & Sustainability Initiative at UF is fulfilling the mission on which we embarked over two decades ago: offering students opportunities to learn more about social entrepreneurship, sustainable business, and impact leadership through courses, co-curricular activities (experiential learning, venture plan competitions, internships, etc.), and extracurricular activities (student organizations, speaker series, etc.). Our students learn the key skills, mindsets, and competencies of entrepreneurs who endeavor to benefit people, the planet, and prosperity in their local communities and around the world. And they are our greatest success.
