About Me   About Me
Greg Overholt is the founder and executive director of SOS: Students Offering Support and is a 2008 graduate of the Business and Computer Science program at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Greg originally planned for a corporate career with promising co-op placements at companies such as Research in Motion and Bell Sympatico. However, his passion sharply shifted to a career in social entrepreneurship after witnessing the enormous impact that this student club had on students both locally and in marginalized communities around Latin America, and dedicated his last year of studies and most of his free time to supporting students from across Canada to have a similar impact on their campus.

Greg has been honoured as a recepient of Waterloo's Top 40 Under 40, and twice a finalist for Ernst & Young's Ontario Entrepreneur of the Year, in the Young Entrepreneur category in 2009, and in the Social Entrepreneur category in 2010.
