Now this is a mouthful: Duke University Enterprising Leadership Incubator Social Entrepreneurship fellowship. It seems like a great fellowship though. Check in here to see what one fellow, Kesav Mohan is doing for his fellowship.

As I sit in the last internship of this year, I realize how much I have learned about social entrepreneurship and its place in society. In truth, I've found it difficult to tell if social entrepreneurship is new, or if society has finally come up with a name for something which has existed for a long time.

What I can write in good faith is that the social entrepreneurs that I have interacted with have been imbued with certain characteristics that make them more able to innovatively solve social problems. Why do I feel these characteristics are important? Because to a fault, social entrepreneurs are people who have the capacity to move ideas into reality - and perhaps, even if we are not solving social missions ourselves, we can absorb these characteristics to better our personal lives.
