Dear Higher Ed
Service-Learning Friends,
Greetings. I hope
you are well.
We hope that you
can join us at UC-Berkeley on May 25-26. Our keynote
speaker on May 26 is Joe Kapp, former NFL
quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings and UC-Berkeley head football coach and
now a champion for youth enterprise.
As you may know,
Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship—SAGE—encourages teens
to start social enterprises, and then present them to a panel of influential
judges at the end of each academic year. The teens do so under the
direction of university students, who serve as service-learning role models and
coaches, in their role as business consultants to their younger protégés.
To this end, I am pleased to announce that the University of
California-Berkeley will host the SAGE USA Tournament on May 25 and 26, 2012.
Thus, the purpose of this email is:
a. To invite you to serve as esteemed judges
and/or observers; we expect about 30 SAGE teams to compete for the top
businesses in 2011-2012, and
b. Provide you with the itinerary,
below.
The welcome
reception and opening ceremonies are set for Friday evening, May 25. First
round judging is set for Saturday morning, May 26. The final round is scheduled
for Saturday afternoon. Judges may elect to judge one or both sessions.
Following the afternoon round, we will hold a dinner and awards ceremony.
The best social
enterprise team and the best commercial enterprise team advance to the SAGE
World Cup on July 27-31, 2012, where they will compete with SAGE champion teams
from 15 countries. Please
send an email to me at cdeberg@csuchico.edu
if you want more details.
If you
can’t join us, please feel free circulate this to West Coast colleagues.
SAGE would like
to thank our main sponsors for this event: Staples Foundation for Learning,
Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, the Louis and
Harold Price Foundation, and Pacific Gas & Electric.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Curt
