The Princeton Social Entrepreneurship Initiative is designed to integrate the fundamentals of social entrepreneurship into the core of the Princeton Experience for all students, regardless of their major. This project has the ultimate goal of moving Princeton education towards producing more effective change agents in every field, and ultimately enriching the campus experience by infusing it with the vibrancy, innovation and creativity that fuel the social entrepreneurship movement.

This new vision is already being applied in several new programs and projects underway at the school, and the initiative is seeking student voluneers who want to lend a hand towards shaping the future of their own education and of the Princeton institution. The latest campaign is called “Failure: The Other F-Word” which will feature a panel of successful speakers giving talks on how failure has led them to achieve greater success.
