Join the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact in a celebration of our students and community partners who work on pressing social and environmental issues in our communities. (Please note that this year, due to COVID safety measures, this event is by invitation only).

This year many of the I2S teams worked closely with amazing community partners - nonprofits and civic leaders - to support their problem discovery and solutions mapping process. 

A big thanks to our partners:  Carrie’s Closet, Grove Park Neighborhood Association, Life School, LISC, Ubuntu Community Catalyst, Wundergrubs, and Housing Tonight.

Check out what social and environmental issues they are working on - read project summaries on the I2S Teams page and watch their short videos.

Congratulations to the Winners!
