Net Impact Antioch University New England
The Organization & Management department and its Green MBA program recently launched a new chapter of Net Impact. Membership in the Antioch University New England chapter of Net Impact is open to all O&M students.
What is Net Impact, you might ask.
Net Impact is a global organization for graduate business students, who want to use business to create a positive change in the world. Net Impact provides networking opportunities for students and business leaders that share a vision of progressive business.
Membership in the organization gives students an opportunity to gain experience in business activities, while working with local companies and non-profits on projects to benefit them and their communities.
Net Impact also offers many educational resources and opportunities; from conference calls with experts discussing issues like Corporate Social Responsibility to the annual National Net Impact conference that offers workshops on a wide range of topics.
Another valuable resource available to members is the Net Impact "Career Center". Benefits of the career center include; career advice, research potential employers, and search for jobs or internships and so much more.
In addition, each Net Impact chapter is responsible for organizing 6 events every year. Events range from happy hour with other regional Net Impact chapters for potential collaboration on future projects to movie discussion night to visiting speakers.
The central office is located in San Francisco with chapters all over the world. Antioch's chapter joins the four other regional chapters, School of International Training (Brattleboro, VT), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, NH), Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth (Hanover, NH), UMass Amherst.
