About
Trico Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Centre
Our History
The Trico Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Centre was established through the generous support of Wayne and Eleanor Chiu’s family foundation, the Trico Charitable Foundation. Our centre is developing social enterprise education, supporting curriculum development and fueling teaching excellence. As there is growing recognition of the possibilities offered by social enterprises, Haskayne graduate students will have the unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a growing movement to do well by doing good.
We are educating the next generation of social entrepreneurs and developing research that makes social enterprises successful. The Trico Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Centre will play a role in helping Calgary become a hub for social entrepreneurship.
Our Vision
Our vision is to catalyze Calgary's leadership in social entrepreneurship education in Canada.
Our Mission
The Trico Foundation Social Entrepreneurship Centre will support unique student experiences inside and outside the classroom including community-based learning, internships, curriculum and research. Students will be empowered with new opportunities and all the support they need to enhance their academic experience.
