Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition

We invite you to get involved in GSEC as a sponsor, mentor, or judge. Please contact gsec@u.washington.edu or 206.685.3432 if you are interested in contributing to GSEC.

Sponsors contribute to dynamic, practical global learning opportunities that promote multidisciplinary business approaches to reducing global poverty. Individuals and companies from the community provide GSEC with a wide range of expertise and have the chance to learn about innovative business solutions to global poverty.
