a little history
Kellogg's Social Impact Club as it is today was created in 2001 through the merger of two pre-existing clubs: the Public/Non-Profit Club and the Socially Responsible Business Club. Because the missions of these two clubs were interrelated and because there was considerable overlap in leadership and membership, the choice was made to create one club that would serve the interests of both communities.

Social Impact has experienced considerable growth in membership during the last three years, as increasing numbers of Kellogg students have grown interested in combining their social values with their career aspirations.

In Winter quarter of 2003, we conducted a survey of our club members to find out about their interests, backgrounds and work experience, and to help us collect feedback to better understand their needs. Using the results of the survey we generated two documents. The first document was our Membership Networking Document which you are welcome to view and use to learn more about our members and/or as a career networking tool. The second document is a presentation with findings from the market research portion of the survey.
