Why Impact?
Many major corporations today are making steps towards sustainability in their products, supply chains, engineering processes, and management decisions. The Impact Career Expo was designed to tap into that trend by connecting motivated students and employers. Impact caters directly to students who want to use their technical skills to make a difference, but do not have the time or the means to find these career opportunities. It also allows new companies and organizations the chance to engage high caliber students in talking about the impact of their work. As our generation enters the workforce, we must engage employers in important discussions about our potential impact and use that information to make informed decisions. In turn, that will cause companies to have higher standards for their own social and environmental impact.
Sponsors
The Impact2008 Career Expo is sponsored by several groups including Design for Change at MIT, Olin Students for Awesome, the MIT Careers Office, and the Olin College Office of Post Graduate Planning. The organizers are currently looking for other sponsors. Please contact impact-bigwigs@mit.edu for more information.
