LGSB Launches New Student Organization

The LGSB is planning on launching a student chapter of Net Impact this fall. Net Impact is a non-profit organization comprised of graduate business students and professionals dedicated to social responsibility in business.

Below is information from the Net Impact Web site:

"Net Impact is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to make a positive impact on society by growing and strengthening a community of new leaders who use business to improve the world. We offer a portfolio of programs to educate, equip, and inspire more than 10,000 members to make a tangible difference in their universities, organizations, and communities.

Spanning five continents, our membership makes up one of the most influential networks of MBAs, graduate students, and professionals in existence today. Net Impact members are current and emerging leaders in CSR, social entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, international development, and environmental sustainability who are actively improving the world."

We are looking for students who may be interested in taking on a leadership position and help get the organization running. If you are interested, please contact Sarah Harmon, academic advisor, at sharmon@uic.edu. For further information regarding Net Impact, visit http://www.netimpact.org.
