What is SESi? The Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Initiative (SESi) is a resource hub and partnership platform supporting the growth and integration of social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and sustainability education efforts at Rollins College. SESi fulfills its mission to educate, equip, and empower competent changemakers through high impact programs and partnerships aligned with SESI’s guiding principles.
SESi guiding principles: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Exposure to cultural diversity Awareness of complex social challenges Cultivation of empathy Understanding of system-level innovation Development of solution-oriented problem solving skills set
SESi focuses on how we think about problems and problem-solving; approaching societal inequities and inadequacies through a lens of innovation to develop creative, smart, and sustainable solutions. Whether we are passionate about bringing social change to the environment, poverty, education, immigration, healthcare, human rights or any large-scale challenge, SESi believes that the solutions we create must empathize with and contextualize a problem’s history, cultures, systems, and shaping factors. Game-changing solutions must be willing to displace past precedent and status quo to bring greater affordability, accessibility, and long-term change. They should be economically and ecologically self-sustaining with the potential to scale to the size of the problem. They involve a level of ingenuity that ventures down uncharted paths and explores unique possibilities.
Purpose of Course Listing The recommended courses below are suggestions for students who wish to integrate SESi principles into their classroom learning. As a liberal arts college, several courses across disciplines and colleges at Rollins expose students to one or more of the SESi guiding principles. Rollins students have expressed interest in taking courses that align with SESi’s principles. In an effort to provide students with optimal exposure to social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and sustainability topics in the classroom, this list provides some courses that SESi has identified as likely to teach SESi principles. The suggested courses are an opportunity for students to become more familiar with one or all of SESi’s guiding principles through their course of study.
