Wheaton College (MA) is positioned to become a leading U.S. institution in integrating programs in social entrepreneurship and innovation with a liberal arts foundation. As the inaugural Diana Davis Spencer Chair of Social Entrepreneurship, I have started, since arriving on campus in the summer of 2019, to take charge of existing social entrepreneurship and innovation programs within the College, and to begin to develop new initiatives which focus on helping students to acquire the entrepreneurial skills needed to create positive social impact in the world. Core to Wheaton’s strengths is the idea of a personalized education, wherein faculty work with students as collaborators, helping provide each of them opportunities to explore their own unique interests, and offering guidance and support as needed. I believe that Wheaton’s social entrepreneurship and innovation programs should build on this idea of personalized education as a vehicle for preparing students to develop innovative solutions for a range of social challenges.
