This fall 31 students worked alongside 11 regional organizations to advance sustainability through experiential learning programs: B Impact Clinic, Climate Action Clinic and Semester for Impact. All were celebrated at the December Changemaker Showcase, where the audience was treated to team presentations, reflections, and time to socialize with students and organization leaders - "filling our cups" with inspiration. Learn more about the teams that made tangible impact in the state, and region.
In each program, students from across the colleges and community partners worked together to help make the organizations, businesses and communities even better through social and environmental initiatives.
B Impact Clinic Fall 2024 Cohort
During this Clinic, student teams help companies assess their social and environmental impact. Companies are seeking B Corp certification, recertification or to simply understand how they perform.
