CESI Partnerships


The Upper Room
SNHU SIFE students work actively with this 501(c)(3) organization to improve operating results. Currently, our students are developing a for-profit side to this non-profit entity as they transform it into a “hybrid” type organization. In addition, SNHU students are involved in assisting with the GED program of The Upper Room.

Manchester Young Professionals Network (MYPN)
CESI has partnered with MYPN to create a “dual-track” (traditional entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship) business plan competition to begin in Fall, 2009. This competition is unique in that selected competitors will participate in a 10-week Business Plan Writing Institute developed by the CESI Director in conjunction with MYPN members.
