Last month, I returned from USASBE where the Social Venture Clinic, a day-long exposure to raising funds through hands-on workshops was chosen as the finalist in the 3E Learning Competition. What is 3E Learning? This is a community of entrepreneurship educators that share class exercises, games, projects, and experiments that instructors create to enhance teaching in entrepreneurship. The 3E-Learning.org site disseminates these entrepreneurial experiential exercises to other instructors.
In the spirit of sharing, here are the workshops that we are holding tomorrow.

Thirty five students from entrepreneurship and experiential learning programs will learn about the changing nature of social venture capital, or how individual social entrepreneurs or enterprise ecosystems raise capital. We have invited Candance Klein, founder of Bad Girl Ventures/SoMoLend and David Egner of the New Economy Initiative, as well experts from the region that will talk about using social media to fundraise, grant writing. We also welcome a Wooster alum Sally Feree ’83 who will work closely with students to enhance their venture funding plans.
as they raise funds to offset their personal travel expenses for their learning experience in India. The students have put together a silent auction. Support them and have a meal with your favorite professor or win a basket of goods from Spoon, your downtown market. All College of Wooster folks, professors, staff and students can bid. The program will match the funds that they raise.
