Net Impact Week: Inspiring Growth and Impact - a week dedicated to exploring and challenging social impact's role in the business context. This week is from October 26 - 31 with 12 events (workshops, lunch and learns, student panels, community service, and social).

Our keynote and capstone event, “The Role of the Private Sector in Creating Lasting Social Change," will include a panel discussion featuring Dean Sally Blount, Professor Paul Christensen, Professor Linda Darragh, and moderated by Professor Harry Kraemer. They will discuss through their own experience what they believe is the role of the private sector to make change, while discussing areas such as micro-finance, social entrepreneurship, and impact investing.

“We need leaders who deeply understand markets, their connection to the public sector, and the philosophical, cultural, and social implications of business’s growing global influence.” -- Dean Sally Blount
