Social Impact Challenge
The NPM Social Impact Challenge is an opportunity for graduate students to collaborate on tackling real issues for an organization that focuses on social impact.
During the Challenge, teams of 3-4 graduate students will tackle a problem statement by researching the organization, investigating the context and social issues, and developing strategic and tactical recommendations for implementation. After creating an initial proposal, the top teams will be then invited to present their recommendations to a panel of judges and the organization's executive team.
The winning multidisciplinary team receives a cash prize and the opportunity for their ideas to be implemented! Participating students also gain the following:
- Collaborating with diverse teammates
- Enhancing written and verbal communication skills
- Applying classroom knowledge to a dynamic organization
- Impacting an organization that makes a difference in the community
The 2014 Social Impact Challenge will take place during winter semester.
