In our first five years, CASE has focused on providing thought leadership for the growing field of social entrepreneurship, building a robust MBA Program for students and alumni interested in applying their business skills for social impact; and establishing a strong institutional presence and base of support at Duke University. In brief, through our knowledge development and dissemination efforts, we have produced over 20 publications, presented more than 50 times at universities and conferences, and hosted several convenings of business school colleagues, thought leaders, or practitioners. Our MBA Program has served over 300 students in the classroom, provided over $330,000 in financial aid to MBAs working in the social sector, and engaged our students in projects and volunteer service with over 50 social-purpose organizations. We have also built strong relationships across Duke University and increased CASE's visibility, and that of the field and of Duke and the Fuqua School of Business, through extensive media coverage. See CASE Impact: 2002-2007 for a more detailed overview of our impact. All of these efforts have helped us to establish CASE as a recognized thought leader in the field of social entrepreneurship as we seek to provide individuals and organizations with the knowledge and skills they need to pursue social impact entrepreneurially.
