The Center seeks to advance the development of social enterprise on campus, in Virginia and nationally, and we recognize outstanding social innovators each year through our Social Innovation Champion Awards.
The awards honor individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing social entrepreneurship, demonstrated a measurable impact in fostering social change, and displayed exemplary leadership in the field of social innovation.
The inaugural awards will be given at our conference, Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Austerity, on George Mason's Arlington campus on November 10, 2011.
2011 winners:
Muna Abusulayman (Mason BA '96, MA '96), Secretary General of The Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation
Mario Morino, Founder of Venture Philanthropy Partners
Diana Wells, President of Ashoka
The 2012 awards will honor Mason students and faculty who have made contributions to the field. Please check back for a nomination form in the coming months.
