CaSES: Civic and Social Entrepreneurship Summit
California State University, Los Angeles
Dec 7-8, 2017
At CaSES, over 100 students presented innovative solutions to wicked problems in their communities. Students in the Government and American Society course first conducted Needs Assessments of their communities to explore the connections between course themes and real-life experience. They worked in teams, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data to design solutions and considering the challenges of implementing big ideas for social change.
The final result is a set of presentations that help to define a model of entrepreneurship rooted in social research, community accountability, and practical innovation. For more: www.praxicalsoc.org/strategies
3. What is P.O.P’s purpose / Goals…..
● The purpose of pop is to help students gain an equal amount of financial aid
so that they can afford an education.
● Also we want to try to regulate how the financial aid money is being used and
how it is being distributed.
8. How our solutions will improve our community
● Long term effects
● Students won’t worry as much about
money, therefore won’t need to work as
much. Giving them more time to focus on
school.
● Students will have more time to give back
to the community through clubs and other
extracurriculars.
● We will have more students graduate
because they will be focused and won’t get
comfortable in a regular job.
