FOR SOCIAL

SOCIAL IMPACT—AND YOUR IMPACT
At Questrom, community is at the heart of who
we are and what we do. From the start, grad students
coalesce into cohorts that reflect a diversity of
backgrounds, interests, and talents. Classroom projects
and cocurricular activities center around teamwork
so that students have opportunities to innovate and
collaborate as they expand their leadership skills.
The Internship Fund for Social Impact creates
opportunities for the Questrom community to
come together to create value for the world and
drive sustainable change across the globe. The
fund is run by first- and second-year MBA students.
Established in 2012, this invaluable resource helps
students pursue meaningful summer internships,
regardless of the salary offered. With assistance
from the Internship Fund, the students use their
business expertise to strengthen local, national, and
international social impact ventures. They do this
through research and data analysis, resulting in more
streamlined operations, newly uncovered revenue
sources, and more efficient and equitable distribution
of services.
As advisors to the fund, faculty and staff share
their expertise, guidance, and invaluable professional
networks to help identify experiences that enable

to support their peers through Donate-a-Day. The
idea behind Donate-a-Day is simple: students pledge
to donate the amount of money earned during one
day at their summer internship or full-time job to the
Internship Fund. This approach allows all Questrom
graduate students to contribute meaningfully. For
many first-time donors, it serves as an inspiration for
lifelong philanthropy. % OF
