A celebration of social impact over the past decade in a fun setting, with music, food, drink, and guest speakers sharing ideas about social impact in the decade to come!
Event Details
In the last 10 years, more than 1,000 Chicago Booth students have contributed hundreds of hours to improving the Chicago community. We've used our MBA skills to consult nonprofits and social enterprises as they launch new programs, achieve sustainable fundraising, and grow their missions. We've helped students and citizens find careers and make a difference in the social sector, and we've volunteered at dozens of institutions that hold our society together!
We invite you and anyone you know who cares about improving education, healthcare, environment, equality, empowerment, nonviolence, and/or the spirit to change the world, to join us for a fun and inspiring celebration of positive impact! See you there!
