Trek Recap: Net Impact in New York City
I love organizing Net Impact treks for our members because I can really see people’s passions come to life and I leave with a strong sense of inspiration. Our first Net Impact NYC trek was January 21-22, and 15 MS and MBA students enjoyed an impressive lineup of speakers, an alumni event, and a tour of the United Nations headquarters. After the hard work that went into organizing the event, I’m happy to say it was all worth it.
Simon’s recent arrangement to share space at the New York Law School in Tribeca gave us a perfect venue to hold our event and host our speakers. We were fortunate enough to have guests speak on a wide range of topics that were of interest to our members, such as impact investing, corporate social responsibility, clean energy, social startups, and sustainability consulting. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the discussions and I left feeling inspired, as did many other members.
That’s my favorite part of Net Impact treks, the sense of inspiration and drive that I take with me. It reminds me to focus on my passions to create an exciting career path and leave a positive impact with each step I take.
