Design for Social Entrepreneurship was
a Fall 2008
Industrial design course offered by Sami Nerenberg. All students have been
participating with local nonprofits in Providence throughout the semester to
uncover how a product, service, system, space or strategy can improve the
services of the organization or the benefactors directly. The final projects of
the course, which represent two weeks of research and four weeks of designing,
are explorations into the power of design to address domestic social needs. Descriptions
of the projects are available on-line.
RISD | Public Engagement is pleased to announce that it has received funding from several sources:
• Learn and Serve America, administered by the Rhode Island Campus Compact, has awarded us $7,000 to continue the Public Engagement Associates Program.
• The Rhode Island Foundation has awarded us a third year of funding to develop our program.
• The Habsro Charitable Fund awarded New Urban Arts a grant of $5,000 to support Career Awareness in the Arts. RISD | Public Engagement is a partner in the program.
