BC Students Compete in $1 Million Social Enterprise Comp.
A team of graduate students from Boston College joined together for the annual Hult Prize Foundation $1 Million Social Enterprise Competition. Five BC students from the Carroll School of Management, the Lynch School of Education, and the School of Social Work worked together to compete for the prize. The competition works to identify and launch the most compelling social business ideas to tackle serious social issues that affect millions of people.
The BC team competed in five cities around the world for a chance to secure $1 million in start-up funding to launch a sustainable social venture. The team created the idea of a low-cost, scalable solution to distribute cloth tote bags, which they named DialogBag, combined with community-based training sessions. The DialogBag would double as a play mat to be used for educational games that promote the necessary and essential adult-child interactions.
