The Net Impact Club had their first meeting on Wednesday, with a great turn-out of 30 MA and MBA students.
This club is part of a larger network (http://www.netimpact.org/) that works to create a more socially and environmentally stable world. The Wake Forest chapter gets students involved with local sustainability issues and community service opportunities. Second-year MBA student, Andrew Verga, will lead the club this year as president; his goal is to schedule a volunteer event every month.
The club is very open to new ideas of community service projects to add to the 2010-2011 schedule. Some ideas suggested during the first meeting include: a mentoring program for high school students and a network or speech panel of nonprofit professionals in the area. The first event is a “stream clean-up” as part of Winston-Salem’s “Adopt A Stream,” on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 25.
If you would like to get involved but missed the first meeting, it’s not too late: contact Andrew Verga at andrew.verga@mba.wfu.edu so your name can be added to the email list for further information.
