Danielle Alexandra and Rick Clemmer know a thing or two about impact entrepreneurship. Between them, they have decades of experience creating and building startups and nonprofit organizations (NGOs) whose missions are to benefit humankind.
Now, Alexandra and Clemmer want to help Texas Tech University develop future generations of impact entrepreneurs through the Danielle Alexandra and Richard L. Clemmer Institute for Social Entrepreneurship and Enterprise.
The recently established institute propels students’ understanding of the meaningful role entrepreneurs can have in fostering global impact. Students will develop skills and knowledge by attending guest speaker presentations, completing the Graduate Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship through the Graduate School and participating in the Social Entrepreneurship Challenge hosted by the Innovation Hub at Research Park.
The five-course certificate empowers graduate students who feel personally compelled to change the world to become innovators who design ventures that address real-world problems through entrepreneurial thinking.
