🌲 Statement on the President's Engagement Prize
This award will help us build a national hub for social entrepreneurship
We’re excited to announce that College Green Ventures has won the 2022 Penn’s President’s Engagement Prize. This year, we were one of two teams to receive the prize, which empowers Penn seniors to create a post-graduation project that makes a “positive, lasting difference in the world.” We believe that College Green Ventures will do just that.
The $250,000 award will accelerate CGV’s ability to become a centralized hub for social impact on campuses nationally. It will help us better support current student social entrepreneurs and create more of them. We will be able to expand to more schools, focusing not just on universities with developed startup ecosystems, but those with ecosystems that have been traditionally overlooked. Together, we hope to build a community of young people dedicated to making the world a little bit better.
We’re grateful for the support of the University of Pennsylvania and our mentor, Wharton professor Tyler Wry. We're also grateful to the many founders, team members, and friends who helped make CGV what it is. And finally, we’re grateful for you. Thank you for subscribing and joining us on this mission. We couldn’t be more excited to build this together!
