We are developing a Certificate Course for Adult Social and Creative Entrepreneurs

We're developing a Certificate Course for Adult Social and Creative Entrepreneurs, designed to help individuals turn passion, purpose, and ideas into meaningful impact.

Before we finalize it, we want your input: what do you need to succeed as an entrepreneur? Reach out at Dearle@smu.edu and let us know.

The course is being built around five areas: Foundations (what social and creative entrepreneurship actually means), Purpose & Passion (what motivates you and your core idea), Ideation & Problem-Solving (does your solution solve a problem or shift a perspective?), Your Story & Strengths (your existing assets and personal narrative), and Building Your Framework (Mission, Vision, and Values).

Our goal is for the course to be practical, reflective, and rooted in real-world impact — useful for aspiring and already-established entrepreneurs alike.
