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)
