Who We Are
Net Impact is a nonprofit organization that works to empower individuals and businesses, particularly student groups, to address social issues. They work with students, job seekers, professionals, and businesses to provide the resources and connections to empower a new generation to drive social and environmental change in order to build impactful careers.
Our undergraduate Net Impact chapter hopes to break the notion that creating social impact and gaining revenue are mutually exclusive and to inform the student body that there are fantastic job opportunities that are oriented around social impact. We hope to integrate all colleges in Santa Clara and create a space where everyone with an interest in social impact can gather, meet, and innovate.
The mission of SCU Net Impact is to build a community of students interested in socially responsible careers and to inspire, educate, and equip these students to use their professional careers to create a positive impact on the world.
To fulfill this mission, SCU Net Impact will remain committed to providing its members with an array of opportunities that will 1) empower students with the skills and resources positively impact their surroundings, 2) help them put their beliefs into action through sustainability efforts, and 3) enlarge their professional network with other like-minded individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to socially impactful careers.

Manager of Net Impact RelationsMy name is Eoin Lyons and I'm a sophomore at SCU! I am undeclared in the Leavey School of Business with a double major in Political Science, pre-law emphasis. Here at SCU, in addition to being a LEAD scholar, I am involved in the Student Ambassadors, the Honors Program, and the Santa Clara Community Action Program, our volunteering agency. I love participating in intramural sports, listening to music, and playing beach volleyball on the court just outside my residence hall. As a member of Net Impact, I have found that my passions for social change and business are not distinct, but rather go hand in hand and complement one another. Through the program, I have been learning how I can improve business to leave a positive social impact, and I cannot wait to learn more. |
