Net Impact Chapter
There are many organizations on campus, but only one that focuses on the entire impact businesses have on the community and society. Net Impact focuses on corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, and sustainability: the future of business!
Net Impact is:
- Impacting your entire society
- Impacting leadership decisions
- Impacting the world through the use of business
Net Impact is:
- An international organization - spanning six continents
- A group of more than 10,000 members making a tangible difference in universities, organizations, and communities
- An influential network of MBAs, graduate students, and professionals
- A group of current and emerging leaders in CSR, social entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, international development, and environmental sustainability who are actively improving the world
Net Impact hosts two events per semester: a speaker series and a community involvement activity. NI also hosts a keystone event of the Spring - the Rice MBA Gala.
