Through speakers, workshops, field trips, panels, and discussion meetings, Penn State Net Impact focuses on a collaborative learning environment where all members help educate each other.

Our mission is to introduce, educate, explore, and implement: Introduction - introduce basic corporate social responsibility topics for basic understanding of current issues. Education - educate each other about what companies are doing today and how governments and NGOs around the world are partnering with businesses to address key issues. Exploration - explore strategies for dealing with present and future challenges. Implementation - implement lessons learned through debates, case competitions, and pro-bono consulting work.
