An annual event recognizing innovation driven by women
The University of St. Thomas and The Schulze School of Entrepreneurship are committed to empowering individuals passionate about creating innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to societal problems. This year, we are proud to share the stories of women with an entrepreneurial spirit and innovative solutions to social issues. As social entrepreneurs, our panelists have created and led businesses that advance the Common Good and whose goals are not only to maximize profit but create lasting impact on social and environmental challenges.
Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 17, for an afternoon of inspiring stories and meaningful connections as we learn about women entrepreneurs who have taken on building a business and improving the world.
