This semester, we’re exporting a DS course to the School of Management’s Leadership and Strategy Department. DS 135.2 Social Entrepreneurship is being taught at the JGSOM (John Gokongwei School of Management) as LS 144. This is part of our "Think Development" effort where we’re trying to get other departments to use their specialized skills and knowledge for development applications. Since Vincent Rapisura has been exported to L/S for Social entrep, it also allows the Program to hire other faculty. This semester, Agnes Rana takes over the Microfinance course.

Last semester, we helped Communications link up with NGOs to make video productions for their organizations. This was a joint effort on the part of Jerome Montemayor, a DS faculty member who teaches resource mobilization and Maitel Ladrido, a Comm faculty member. The terminal report isn’t in yet but so far the feedback has been positive.

There are more plans for "export" but I don’t like to talk about things that are still being worked on. Let us know if you have ideas on how we can continue to export the development mindset to other units of the Ateneo.
