Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When professor Phil Roundy began teaching European students about entrepreneurship five years ago, most were unfamiliar with the concept of purpose-driven business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow it\u2019s the opposite,\u201d said Roundy, a UC Foundation associate professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is one of a handful of professors from the Gary W. Rollins College of Business instructing students as part of the Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders program\u2014better known as SUSI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome SUSI students push back on the idea that we can use the market for anything other than buying goods and services,\u201d said Roundy, who has taught SUSI students every summer since the program came to UTC in 2017 through a partnership of the College of Business and the Center for Global Education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they think of the marketplace or capitalism, they think of Walmart and that\u2019s kind of the stereotype in their mind. So I like the idea that I can expand their horizons beyond equating capitalism strictly with traditional businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/eca.state.gov\/\">Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs<\/a> and administered by international development organization FHI 360, the five-week, academic intensive SUSI summer program immerses European students in entrepreneurship, economic development and culture at colleges and universities around the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>For Sandra Al Sam, who recently graduated from Link\u00f6ping University in Sweden with a degree in education, the theories and applications of entrepreneurship and economic development are becoming more clear. And more exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something about human nature that makes us naturally want to improve our surroundings, and not just for ourselves but for our communities,\u201d said Al Sam, who\u2019s visited the U.S. once before. \u201cThere\u2019s another level of civic engagement that you see in the U.S. that you don\u2019t see in Sweden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said in Sweden and in many European countries, the government aims to solve it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the state can\u2019t help everyone,\u201d Al Sam said, \u201cand so that\u2019s where I\u2019m inspired to go back to my community and find out where people need help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program is an inspirational springboard in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Al Sam and 20 students representing 20 countries arrived in Chattanooga to launch their studies and broaden their knowledge of social entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really interested in helping people so I don\u2019t just like to see the bright side of places but the dark sides, too,\u201d said Miriama Sokolakova, who studies economics at Charles University in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why working with un-housed Chattanooga residents in the Chattanooga Community Kitchen this past week was so meaningful for Sokolakova.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most significant differences she has noticed about American society and culture is \u201cin general, the average American person is more entrepreneurial and more politically engaged,\u201d Sokolakova said.<\/p>\n<p>The post-communism transition in Slovakia has elevated democratic principles, but \u201cone big downside of Slovakia is that the education system isn\u2019t 21st Century yet,\u201d Sokolakova said. \u201cWe have to teach people how to be good citizens and a sense of we\u2019re in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SUSI students depart UTC and Chattanooga Friday en route to Atlanta and then head back to their home countries Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43791\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-attachment-id=\"43791\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/06\/u-s-state-department-sponsored-students-finishing-up-studies-at-utc\/susi-students-22-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/06\/SUSI-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,798\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tennessee at Chattanooga&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;SUSI students in Phillip Roundy\\u2019s class, Wednesday, June 15, 2022&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1655282487&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;58&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;SUSI Students-22&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SUSI Students-22\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Philip T.
