With the common person's incredible access to information today, entrepreneurship has incredible potential. College students founded Kairos with the mission of propelling collegiate entrepreneurship by illustrating the vast opportunities available to college entrepreneurs right now. They wanted to show each other what they all can achieve now, not months or years into the future. No other organization exists to bring together the best students from across the country and unite them with the greatest entrepreneurial mentors. The Kairos Society, on the national-level, takes collegiate entrepreneurship to a higher level following three guiding principles: Inspiration, Experience, and Innovation. Whether is it introducing a fellow student in a teambuilding event, or running a speaker series on a niche market, Kairos is the premier vehicle for collegiate entrepreneurial success.

Penn SEM
The mission of the Penn Social Entrepreneurship Initiative is to make Penn a leading educator in social enterprise by improving its academic and career offerings in the sector at the University of Pennsylvania. It was launched in 2008 as a University-wide Initiative, and aims to achieve its goal through a three-pronged effort:
1) Penn Social Entrepreneurship Mentoring (SEM) Program.
The flagship Program of the Penn Social Entrepreneurship Initiative attaches Penn students over the summer months to successful social entrepreneurs who have had the experience of founding and leading social enterprises. The Penn SEM Program is differentiated from standard summer internships because it offers students the opportunity to be mentored directly by a successful social entrepreneur leading one of our partner organizations.
2) Penn Social Entrepreneurship Speaker Series
The Penn Social Entrepreneurship Speaker Series will bring in top leaders in the field of Social Entrepreneurship to share their experiences in starting and leading successful social enterprises with Penn students.
3) Collaboration with Social Enterprises to enhance Penn’s academic capabilities
This component of our program will foster collaboration between Penn faculty with research and teaching interests in Social Entrepreneurship, and successful Social Entrepreneurs with practical experience in the field.
Participants could perform research together with Penn faculty and co-publish concerning Social Entrepreneurship to enhance Penn's and Wharton's knowledge generation capibilities in the field of social entrepreneurship while helping our partner social enterprises gain more visibility and credibility.
