Very Impactful People (V.I.P.): Social Innovation & the Impact Entrepreneur

Engage with founders of leading Impact Ventures. Each week, a different high-impact entrepreneur will share their personal and professional journey to launch a social and environmental innovation. The line-up will feature award-winning, values-driven founders whose companies address the pressing needs of our society and/or planet health through for-profit, nonprofit and hybrid structures. Discussions will focus on the process of innovation, such as coming up with a high-impact idea, designing products/services that create positive change, building team, measuring impact, raising funds/investment and scaling sustainable business models. Students will have the opportunity to converse directly with each pioneering thought-leader. Students will be exposed to diverse career paths, networking, potential internships and job opportunities.
