of Chapel Hill.
Q:What do I need to do to prepare?
A:We are very excited that you will be attending Nourish's
Summer Institute. Much of our success this year hinges upon the training
provided at it, and to get the most out of it, we request that you
prepare for the institute in three simple ways:
- Come well rested
and ready to learn: it's going to be a rigorous 5 days.
- Please
bring a laptop if you have one since it will come in handy for
the Start-up Challenge
- Read the following article: The
Meaning of Social Entrepreneurship, by Greg Dees.
This will prime you for the programming
offered at the institute.
We have a challenging road ahead and we ask that you come prepared
so that we can make the most of our time between August 8th and August
12th.
