What is Net Impact?

Net Impact is an international club that connects and inspires a community of likeminded students, faculty and professionals who are committed to using their management skills to address social needs.

By virtue of being in the Marriott School, it is safe to assume you will have a positive impact on the organizations you ultimately work for. But what will your impact on the community and world be? Have you ever wondered how you could use your management skills to do more? Net Impact facilitates opportunities for you to do just that, which will help you excel both as a professional and a citizen. As a result, you will have a greater Net Impact on the world.

What does BYU's Net Impact chapter do?

Net Impact is your club. While there are some programs already in place, we are most excited about giving you a forum to address topics you are most passionate about. The following list highlights some of the programs and service opportunities throughout the year.
