My name is Megan Briggs Lyster - I'm an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Social Entrepreneurship at Hampshire College and the Co-Director of the Hampshire College Social Venture Fund and Advisory Network. I received a B.A. degree with a focus in family and developmental psychology from Hampshire College and an M.A. degree with a focus in social entrepreneurship education from Prescott College.

What I Do
I teach courses in social entrepreneurship, advise independent student projects, serve as the faculty advisor for SEARCH (the Hampshire College student group for social entrepreneurship), and contribute to the organization of multiple events, programs & projects at Hampshire and the Five College Consortium.

I have also worked with a number of both non-profit and for-profit companies in the fields of disability advocacy & outdoor recreation, information technology, and historic real estate.

In the Fall of 2012, the students in my course, "The Business of Change", are developing Wikipedia articles for social ventures that currently do not have an article on Wikipedia.
