New Course on Social Entrepreneurship and Venture Philanthropy Rolled Out this Fall

A new partnership has been established between The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School and Nurturing Social Minds.

Under the partnership, CUHK Business School will develop and deliver a new course on social entrepreneurship and venture philanthropy for its students. The course will be launched this fall and start student enrolment this summer.

The course welcomes students from the CUHK Business School’s MBA, master’s and undergraduate programs to join. It will be co-taught by Prof. Kevin Au, an associate professor of the Department of Management at CUHK Business School along with a dedicated teaching team.

In addition to lectures, CUHK Business School students will be learning from pioneers and practitioners from the field of social innovation, both in Hong Kong and internationally. There will be valuable opportunities for networking with high-level executives from corporates, foundations and government. Students will work in teams as consultants for curated social enterprises that have already proven their concept, to help scale up operations. The student teams will then be pitching on behalf of their social venture partner for HK$250,000 in grant funding from The Yeh Family Philanthropy.
