Faculty Fellowship
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.
Campus Liaison
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.
Student Ambassador
If you would love to stir up interest for more students at your school to join the Sullivan family, consider joining our Student Ambassador team. This internship position will help bring the social entrepreneurship programming and energy of Sullivan Foundation onto your campus. You will play a large role in orchestrating social media posts and content for the Foundation.
