BSLW 3345 Managing for Social Impact and the Public Good
Managing for Social Impact is an interdisciplinary course that explores the challenges and opportunities for affecting social change in the public and private sphere. Students will utilize the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to explore how we can leverage market forces, governmental policies, and philanthropies to better support flourishing human populations. This seminar is the required introductory class for the MSI minor and thus most seats are reserved for those currently enrolled in the minor. Others will be permitted as space allows.
