We run a year-long faculty fellowship focused on supporting faculty who have an expressed interest in incorporating social innovation and entrepreneurship into their class work and/or efforts to advance social innovation and entrepreneurship on their campus. Fellows gather together throughout the year and work as a cohort to advance their individual projects.
Every Sullivan school has a designated Campus Liaison, who is most often a staff member at the school engaged with service and social entrepreneurship endeavors. This individual is responsible for promoting Sullivan events and opportunities to students on their campus. We facilitate a learning network to share best practices for student engagement and programming.
We host periodic receptions across the country to honor Algernon Sydney Sullivan Alumni. These receptions are a chance to connect with staff from the Foundation, Sullivan schools, and fellow Sullivan award winners.
