“I was taking a risk that could not be quan-tified or rationalized, but I still got on the plane because I was granted an opportunity of a lifetime. I refused to shy away from a chance to learn and grow, and the Ambas-sador Corps program with SPARC in Ban-galore, India, was the most powerful experi-ence imaginable.”

— Andria Ellis Ambassador Corps 2010, Bangalore, India

refleCtIONS frOM the eXeCutIve dIreCtOra SeISMIC year IN revIew 2009 – 2010

There are certain periods in the life of a new initiative that are truly legendary. Such was this year in the life and

times of the Global Center for Social Entrepreneurship. The year was kicked off by a momentous student movement

to retain the ownership and integrity of the Global Center under the auspices of the original founder and visionary. It

was a highly organized student-led campaign that resulted in a reversal of administration dictate and a new insti-

tutional alignment of the Center directly within the Office of the Provost. Based on this remarkable turn of events, the

Global Center came into its own as the “most innovative program on campus,” as characterized by Provost Gilbertson.

The benchmarks of this historic year included:

Ö Hiring of a dynamic and highly charged Program Administrator, Spencer Ton.

Ö Strategic partnerships with all nine university schools, including first time joint ventures with Pharmacy, Law and Dental.

Ö Council of University Social Entrepreneurs (student branch of the Center) membership at an all-time high, requiring larger venues that exceeded the existing Global Center facility.

Ö An expanded Advisory Board to include a new generation of social entrepreneurship youth leaders, a venture capitalist, a professor of innovation, and the leading international legal social entrepreneur.

Ö Growth of the signature Ambassador Corps international internship program from 10 to 15 placements in developing countries and with first-time university funding.

Ö Sponsorship of three historic campus-wide events: The Ambassador Corps Forum moderated by Pacific President Dr. Eibeck; the U.S.-China Social Enterprise Summit which hosted 30 Chinese business students; and the first Pacific delegation to attend the Clinton Global Initiative University conference at the University of Miami.

Ö Completion of the first comprehensive institutional evaluation of the Global Center by two experienced social entrepreneurship specialists.

Ö Launching of the Integrated Development Program, a multi-disciplinary student consultancy social enterprise.

Ö Hosting 16 prominent social entrepreneurs in the Practitioner Speaker Series attended by a record number of students, faculty, administration, and community leaders.

Ö Receipt of an Innovation Fund grant to jump start the Global Center’s first sustainability initiative: “Center in a Box,” a start-up turnkey program for universities interested in establishing similar centers on their campus.

Ö Installation of the Foundation Center data-base of 98,000 U.S.-based foundations in the Global Center to assist campus and community organizations with strategic funding opportunities.

Ö Record private funding raised in the amount of $232,800 for the Center’s staffing, operations, and programs.

With shared pride in a year of seminal achievement,

— Gerald B. Hildebrand, Executive Director

year IN revIew

Ö the Global Center was realigned within the

university community. The campus-wide impact of

the Global Center was recognized and the Executive

Director began reporting to the Provost, as opposed to

the School of International Studies Dean.

Ö Spencer ton, School of International Studies graduate,

was hired as the new program administrator.

Ö The freshly minted executive committee of the Council

of university Social entrepreneurs (student branch

of the Center) began operations with new program

initiatives, enlarged venues for accommodating

increased membership (the first meeting held in the

Westgate Center of the Business School and attracted

over 65 students and faculty), and a student-led

kickoff campaign that ensured the continuity of the

Center under the founding director.

Ö Old alliances were strengthened with the Schools of

business and engineering, and new first time part-

nerships were forged with the Schools of pharmacy

and law. Through a series of new initiatives, the Cen-

ter could finally claim connection with all nine Pacific

schools.

Ö the advisory board was expanded to include a

venture capitalist (Jack Crawford), two new youth social

entrepreneurship leaders (Saul Garlick and Mike Del

Ponte), a Pacific professor of Innovation and Invention

(Cynthia Weick), and the foremost legal social entrepre-

neur in the world (Karen Tse).

Ö the practitioner Speakers Series began with a

double-barreled blast of two world renown social

entrepreneurs in the same week, Martín burt and

victoria hale. Victoria Hale, MacArthur Genius Award

winner and Skoll Foundation Global Entrepreneur of the

Year, spoke to a standing room only crowd of 350 in the

Pharmacy School Rotunda on her breakthrough initia-

tive of establishing the first non-profit pharmaceutical

manufacturing company. This was followed by an illustri-

ous line of 14 other social entrepreneur leaders from

a wide range of disciplines: engineering, business,

education, microcredit, corporate social responsibility,

foundations, non-profits, fair trade, youth entrepreneur-

ship, and social venture philanthropy.

Ö the ambassador Corps international internship

program (a signature initiative of the Center) was ex-

panded from ten to fifteen student placements in de-

veloping countries, thanks to increased funding from

Pacific and Ted and Stephanie Leland to complement

the charter funders of the Cordes and Peery Founda-

tions and Otis McAllister, Inc. Host country placements

in the summer of 2010 included Bolivia, Paraguay

(2), South Africa, Kenya (2), India (4), the Philippines,

Namibia, Nepal and the international headquarters of

two prominent global social entrepreneurship organiza-

tions in Geneva and Amsterdam. Assignments are 8-12

weeks.

The third year of the Global Center’s operation was celebrated by a series of major developments and events:

Page 7: Leaders , for Tomorrow ANNUAL REPORTsocialeconomyaz.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Global... · 2015-01-01 · 3 refleONS CtI frOM the eXeCutIve dIreCtOr aSMIC SeI year IN revIew

Ö the Global Center sponsored

three first-time campus-wide

events: (1) The Ambassador

Corps Forum moderated by Pa-

cific President Eibeck , which in-

cluded international intern reports

from Honduras, South Africa,

Vietnam, and Uganda and a key-

note address by Paul Rice, CEO

of Transfair USA; (2) the U.S.-

China Social Enterprise Summit

which hosted 30 Chinese busi-

ness students on campus; and

(3) the first Pacific delegation to

attend the Clinton Global Initia-

tive University global conference

at the University of Miami. The Pacific delegation (the

largest of any university in the United States) included

15 students from six Schools, President Eibeck, Regent

Cordes, and the Global Center director.

Ö the foundation Center database, which contains

information on 98,000 U.S.-based foundations that

fund domestic non-profit and international non-gov-

ernmental organizations, was installed in the Global

Center in October. The database is open top both the

campus and community at no charge. This was made

possible by a competitive grant from the Pacific Innova-

tion Fund.

Ö the Integrated development program (Idp) was

launched under the leadership of Spencer Ton. It is a

multi-disciplinary team of student consultants from

five Schools that provide institutional strengthening to

start-up social entrepreneurship organizations in the

Stockton community and globally.

Ö the first comprehensive evaluation of the Global

Center was completed by experienced social entre-

preneurship consultants Warner Woodworth, Professor

of Social Entrepreneurship at BYU and Global Center

Board member, and Brett Smith, Executive Director of

the Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Miami Uni-

versity of Ohio. Over 30 administration, faculty, staff,

students and community leaders participation in the

assessment.

Ö the Global Center sponsored three Non-profit

Sustainability workshops and a Competition for local

non-profit organizations to promote social entre-

preneurship. Over 25 organizations participated. The

Workshop Series was co-sponsored by United Way

(which also provided $500 funding), the San Joaquin

Delta College Small Business Development Center,

and the San Joaquin Network of Non-profit Executive

Directors. The Eberhardt School of Business partnered

with the Global Center to assign first year MBA stu-

dents to develop Business Plans for the participating

non-profits as part of the ESB curriculum.

Ö the first youth enterprise Microfinance Guarantee

fund was launched through the Global Center in a

joint venture funded by the Cordes and peery foun-

dations in the amount of $50,000. The Katalysis Micro-

finance Network in Central America (22 microfinance

organizations servicing 275,000 entrepreneurs) will

implement this initiative to help underwrite potential

loan losses for youth microcredit loans.

Ö the Global Center produced its first comprehensive

informational brochure and first fully functioning

website: www.globalctr.org.

Ö private funding for Global Center operations and

staff amounted to over $232,800 in fy 2010. Primary

donors were the Peery and Cordes Foundations, Otis

McAllister, Inc., Flowers Foundation (via the Pharmacy

School), and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Leland (Vice President

of External Relations, University of the Pacific). In

addition to the director’s salary and benefits, Pacific

also contributed $20,000 to the Ambassador Corps

and $20,000 to the campus contingent to the Clinton

Global Initiative University and the U.S.-Pacific Social

Enterprise Summit.

Ö At the conclusion of the year, the Global Center

received approval of a grant in the amount of $9000

from the pacific Innovation fund to design and develop

the “Center in a box” initiative that will package

Pacific’s innovative Global Center model for marketing

and implementation to other universities interested in

starting up social entrepreneurship centers on their

campus. This enterprise will be a strategic component

of the Center’s sustainability development program for

FY 2011, based on earned income.

In sum, the third year of the Global Center operation

which began with a tumultuous institutional realignment,

ended as an action-packed, ground breaking, intense,

challenging, and powerfully productive year for the

Center. The following pages provide a brief digest of

all the Global Center’s ongoing programs and new

initiatives of FY 2010, in addition to the highlights

addressed above.

The eighteen member professional Advisory Board, under the inspired leader-

ship of Chairman Ron Cordes, is truly the envy of all the other university-based

centers of social entrepreneurship. It is in actuality a Stakeholders’ Council

which provides time, talent and treasure to the Global Center’s program and

operations. As mentioned in the “Year in Review” section, five new members

joined the Board in FY 2010: a venture capitalist, a legal social entrepreneur,

two next generation social entrepreneurship leaders, and a Pacific professor of

Invention and Innovation.

The uniqueness of this Board is borne out in the myriad of activities in which

the members have participated in the following: Mentorship Program, Non-profit

Workshop facilitation and Competition jury, Ambassador Corps funding, devel-

opment of the proposed Social Entrepreneurship MBA Program on the Sac-

ramento campus, U.S.-China Social Enterprise Summit, Practitioner Speaker

Series, hosting Student Expeditions, Internship placement, Certificate Program

development and presentation, Global Center Evaluation, Family Foundation

Consortium, Operations funding, and a range of Special Projects. Board mem-

bers also provide invaluable resource networking and funding opportunities.

Two Board Meetings were held in FY 2010: October and March. These sessions

GlObal CeNter advISOry bOard

were attended by a quorum of the

Board, the University Provost, guest

faculty, and student activists. The gath-

erings, held on the Pacific campus,

began with lunch, continued on with a

business meeting, included a reception

hosted by the Council members, and

ended with the Chairman’s dinner. The

autumn meeting concluded with the

Global Ambassadors’ Forum, moder-

ated by Pacific President, Dr. Pamela

Eibeck. In addition to the two formal

business meetings, the Global Center

director meets individually with most

Board members for consultation on

strategy, program development, and

sustainability.

Early in FY 2010, the Global Center recommended that

there be an institutional evaluation of the Center’s struc-

ture and function. Two consultants were retained by the

Provost to undertake this assignment: Warner Woodworth,

Professor of Social Entrepreneurship at BYU and Global

Center Board member, and Brett Smith, Executive Direc-

tor of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Miami

University, Oxford, OH. The Global Center director drafted

the terms of reference and scope of work, at the Provost’s

request. These evaluations were completed in mid-April.

Appointments were arranged for each consultant with over

30 individuals that had direct contact with the Center:

administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community

leaders. The Provost prepared executive summaries of both

evaluations as well as an official response from the Univer-

sity. The full reports were sent to Board Chair, Ron Cordes,

for distribution to the Advisory Board members at their

GlObal CeNter INStItutIONal evaluatION

aCadeMIC eNhaNCeMeNt prOpOSal

The Global Center submitted a $50,000

proposal to the National Collegiate In-

novation and Invention Alliance in South

Hadley, MA in May 2010 to strengthen the

academic component of the Center. The

three sectors in the proposal included: (1)

Addition of the third course in “Evaluation

and Social Impact Measurement” to the

existing Certificate Program; (2) Devel-

opment of a new initiative entitled Life

Changer U, a collaborative program with

SOCAP and the HUB (Tim Freundlich) to

provide an online and onsite (HUB/SF)

Certificate Program for individuals who

are seeking a career change from conventional business to social entrepreneurship; (3) Integration of an academic component

into the Ambassador Corps program in which the interns will complete a research paper, under faculty supervision, relevant to

their onsite experiential learning experience. Administration of this grant will be provided by the Global Center staff.

October 2010 meeting. Two key findings: (1) The Global

Center is ahead of most other university-based centers in

their experiential learning component, active involvement

of students, and interface throughout the campus in all

sectors. (2) The component lacking is the academic, that

will give the overall Center more credibility. Two immedi-

ate outcomes: (1) The Global Center director will continue

to report directly to the Interim Provost (this may change

when a new full-time Provost is hired); and (2) The Univer-

sity has committed to hiring a full-time Professor of Social

Entrepreneurship to be based in the Business School by

autumn 2011.

At year’s end (30 June 2010), there were several key

administrative changes that will have impact on the Global

Center in the future. Phil Gilbertson, the Provost of 14

years and a major proponent of the Global Center, retired.

He was replaced on an interim basis by Pat Ferrillo, the

current Dean of the Pacific Dugoni Dental School in San

Francisco. Provost Ferrillo is an internationalist and has

expressed his support for the Global Center. The Center

executive director will continue to report to Provost Fer-

rillo in FY 2011. Margee Ensign, the Dean of the School of

International Studies (SIS), resigned to accept the position

as President of the American University in Nigeria. The

Global Center was started under SIS. Cynthia Weick, Busi-

ness School and Engineering School professor and Global

Center Advisory Board member, was named the interim

SIS Dean. A new Dean was also named for the Business

School, Lewis Gale. Dean Gale is a strong advocate of so-

cial entrepreneurship and the Global Center has formed a

productive working relationship with him and his faculty.

The Global Center was pleased to collaborate with the Hong Kong based

Schoenfeld Foundation in the ECSEL (Empowering Chinese Social Enter-

prise Leaders) program and U.S. – China Social Enterprise Summit. This

summit was a three day conference designed to support young Chinese

and American students in their social entrepreneurial endeavors. From an

applicant pool of nearly one thousand, 30 of China’s top business students

were invited to the United States as delegates at this summit as well as the

Clinton Global Initiative University. At Pacific, students met with social entre-

preneurs, practitioners, and leaders of businesses and organizations making

an impact on social and environmental issues in the U.S., China, and around

the world. Students learned from their experiences and discussed how these

issues can be effectively addressed in China and the U.S. In addition, Ron

Cordes sponsored the Social Venture Pitch competition which gave all of the

Chinese students the opportunity to pitch their innovations and for impact

enterprises to a panel of venture capitalists, angel investors, and marketing

experts. Ultimately, Jah Ying Chung, a business student from Hong Kong

won the competition with her concept of “Meals on Wheels”, a social venture

designed to enhance health in rural communities through cooking lessons on food hygiene and nutrition.

After an intense competition, Ms. Chung was the recipient of a brand new Apple iPAD.

The Global Center for Social Entrepreneurship

launched the Ambassador Corps Program in 2009.

This program provided financial support to students

wishing to obtain international internships in the

field of social entrepreneurship. Aside from the hands-

on experience, this advanced internship program

provided the essential fundamentals for establishing

careers in international development, and cultivating

professional relationships in developing countries

with premiere social entrepreneurship organizations.

Ten students were awarded this fellowship and trav-

eled to Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The awards

ranged in the amount of $3,000 – $5,000, depend-

ing on the length of service, location, and cost of

living expenses in the host country. The funds were

used for travel to and from the assignment, living

stipend, and other related project expenses. These

hands-on internships were developed by the Global

Center in conjunction with its network of non-govern-

mental organizations that are pioneering new con-

cepts in social entrepreneurship. The Global Center

worked closely with both the host organizations and

interns to ensure that their positions were well

designed and the assignments matched both the

organization’s needs and the intern’s skills, interest,

and learning objectives. In 2010, our students trav-

eled to: Bolivia, India, Kenya, Nambia, Nepal, Nether-

lands, Paraguay, Philippines, South Africa,

and Switzerland.

In May, 2010 the Global Center has provided a series of affordable and high

impact sustainability workshops designed for non-profit organizations to explore

social entrepreneurship and sustainability. Last spring, the Global Center hosted

a series of three workshops that covered topics on: An Introduction to Social

Entrepreneurship, Idea Generation, and Feasibility Study Development instructed

by Paul Lamb, CEO of Man on Mission Consulting Group and Dr. Cynthia Wagner

Weick, Interim Dean of the School of International Studies. Following these

workshops, non-profit organizations were given the opportunity to participate

in the Sustainability Plan Competition. This gave non-profits the opportunity to

receive invaluable feedback from a panel of angel investors. Ultimately, the Global
