A second gift provided an initial endowment and operating funds to establish the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise in 2004 with Stuart Hart as its Founding Director.
Mark Milstein became the full-time Director of the Center in 2006, with Dr. Hart continuing as the Samuel C. Johnson Professor in Sustainable Global Enterprise.
Its programs include those focused on market and enterprise creation (particularly in low income communities), clean technology innovation and sustainable finance.
The SGE Immersion has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility, while maintaining a rigorous program.
It consists of 3 overlapping and interconnected phases: The Center is Directed by Dr. Mark Milstein, and Dr. Stuart Hart maintains the S.C. Johnson Chair of Sustainable Global Enterprise.
