California Institute for Social Business Details
The California Institute of Social Business (CISB) in collaboration with Professor Muhammad Yunus was established as part of the California State University, Channel Islands' commitment to prepare students for the world they will inherit upon graduation. The California Institute for Social Business is the first of its kind and will serve as a catalyst for similar institutes introducing students to the challenge of poverty and environmental problems and teaching them to create market based solutions. Because CISB wants students to gain practical benefits and move beyond classroom learning, the institute will also function as an incubator for business projects."It will bring people together – students, corporations, foundations and individuals to look at the world's most serious issues and find business solutions for them. It is a place to expose the next generation of business, political and social leaders to international and multi-cultural problems because they are the ones who will inherit the world we have built…..they will find the solutions. They will address these issues head on because they want a different world and they understand that the systems we have built have failed". Muhammad Yunus
