Social Change Effort at Sanford
On Jan. 30, SEPI reps attended the first Spring 2013 meeting of D-SISE, and is officially on the board of the Duke Student Initiative for Social Entrepreneurship (D-SISE). Currently, we are helping craft a school-wide survey to gauge interests and needs for students interested in social entrepreneurship. These tools will help ensure that Sanford has empirical evidence to seek greater investment in Sanford's S.E. resources.
Meanwhile, a new Sanford student-led social innovation incubator is developing, and passionate Sanford students are ready to tackle real-world problems and contribute to innovation conversations at Sanford (more information will be provided).
Want to get involved with D-SISE? Interested in hands-on survey design? Contact Jenn.rimbach@gmail.com.

The Duke Conference on Sustainable Business and Social Impact (SBSI) aims to educate and inspire students and Triangle-area professionals on rapidly evolving opportunities to create positive and sustainable change. The conference brings together over 40 speakers from the public, private and social sectors on 12 panels to discuss ways to use innovative business models, partnerships and ideas to break the mold and look “Beyond the Bottom Line” at new opportunities.
Attendees will explore current issues and challenges through keynote addresses, networking sessions and thought-provoking panels organized into four tracks: Finance, Social, Sustainability and Technology. The full conference schedule and registration can be found at our website: http://bit.ly/DukeSBSI2013.
