What We Do

Our center offers a wide variety of social impact opportunities for everyone — whether you’re just starting to explore social impact or are already a seasoned community advocate. No matter your level of experience or the time you can commit, we provide meaningful ways to learn social impact skills and create meaningful relationships in the community.

Some of our biggest opportunities include full-tution scholarships for our student Impact Fellowship, mentored research competitions through our Social Impact Metrics Lab, and taking our courses through the Social Impact & Ethical Leadership minor or becoming an Impact Scholar through a service-learning academic path.
