Started teaching my Social Entrepreneurship course today! Over the next 10 weeks, students will design ventures that tackle real-world challenges—combining innovation with impact. Guest speakers from the field are joining too. Can’t wait to share more at the end of the quarter!

Praying for those affected and the greater Tallahassee community. My brother is a graduate student at FSU. He is ok and was not on campus at the time. #FSU
