Social Impact at Kellogg aims to inspire and equip business leaders to create positive, significant and sustainable impact in the world.
The Social Impact pathway is designed for students who want to create positive social change throughout their careers. The conceptual basis of the pathway includes classes to: define social value; identify and implement strategies to effect change through partnerships between business, government and non-profits; and anticipate and manage inevitable value conflicts. The pathway recognizes that social change may come through different professional tracks: The Policy track examines the interface with and impact of the public sector, the Nonprofit Management track looks at leading non-profit organizations, and the Social Innovation track focuses on new and sustainable approaches to impact and scale. Beyond these in-depth courses students should also consider engagement opportunities, like labs and experiential courses, as well as co-curricular opportunities including clubs, competitions, and speaker series.
Faculty sponsors: Jan Eberly (Finance) and Tim Feddersen (Managerial Economics & Decision Sciences)
