Think Critically and Globally
Social Impact
Every day, business shapes and impacts the world around us. We encourage you to think critically about its role in society and your influence as a future leader.
In Class
Our unique Social Impact Curriculum allows you to explore issues of personal and professional ethics, corporate social responsibility and the interconnections between business and our global society.
Outside of Class
Our Social Impact Initiatives give you opportunities to apply classroom lessons to make a real-world impact through socially responsible pursuits in New York City, as well as while abroad.
