Compass Partners Goes National
Compass Partners, the college-focused social business incubator and training program, has selected 75 college Freshmen hailing from five universities across the US as the next social entrepreneurs in the Compass Fellowship. Following a rigorous application and interview process that started with nearly 700 college freshmen, American, Georgetown, George Washington, Indiana and Tufts University each now have a passionate group of 15 new Compass Fellows who will work together over the next two years to develop innovative solutions to some of the world’s greatest problems. Meet the 75 Compass Fellows. Through the Compass Fellowship, students engage in personal growth and business skill modules where they will grow and learn from leaders in the community. Fellows will receive guidance and mentorship from upperclassmen students who coordinate the program at their schools. They will be connected to internship opportunities that allow them to gain hands-on experience in areas of passion. Finally, Fellows will each receive the resources necessary to launch social business ventures that encompasses their passions and enable them to develop financially sustainable solutions to pressing social issues.
