Center for Social Impact

领导, Ethics and Values

做一个变革者.

As part of its strategic plan to educate students for “action and leadership in a complex world,” 中北书院 launched the Center for Social Impact in 2018 to develop the next generation of changemakers. The Center for Social Impact accomplishes its work through 5 key pathways: Service, 公民参与, 宣传, Social Entrepreneurship, 和奖学金. These pathways inform the types of events we host, the initiatives we foster, and the student organizations we support. The Center exists as a place for any student interested in making an impact to come and be supported and empowered. With supporting resources like the ARC, our dialogue facilitation training, and various other 研讨会, students are able to practice social innovation, 宣传, and leadership development that will set them up for success in their classes and beyond.

Pathways to Social Impact
