The mission of the Social Entrepreneur Center is to promote the use of technology for social issues by creating sustainable enterprises. This will be achieved by
(i) creating an undergraduate major (and minors linked to existing majors) in social entrepreneurship well integrated with information and technology education,
(ii) fostering an internship program where students can add value to a company, an NGO (non-governmental organization), or a non-profit organization within US or in a foreign country by leveraging technology,
The need for
language aids is pervasive in today's world. Millions of individuals with
language and speech challenges require additional support for language
understanding and learning. Currently, however, these needs are not being met
because there are not enough skilled teachers, interpreters, and professionals
to give them the one on one attention that they need. Lipreading (speechreading
because it involves more than just the lips) allows deaf and hard of hearing
individuals to perceive and understand oral language and even to speak.
