Net Impact at Chicago Booth
Purpose. Community. Impact.
Net Impact at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business brings together students who care about the intersection of business, purpose, and community. We explore how Boothies can lead with their values — across sectors and stages of their careers — to make a difference for people and the planet.
Our mission is to support and educate Booth students on civic leadership and socially responsible business, nonprofit, and public management. Whether you’re curious about impact investing, sustainability, or nonprofit governance, Net Impact is a space to learn, connect, and take action.
Joining Net Impact at Booth means being part of a community of individuals who believe business can be a force for good—and connecting to a global network of more than 100,000 changemakers through Net Impact.
Members gain access to 30+ events each year across social, educational, and career programming, and connect with a lifelong network of professionals using their skills to drive meaningful impact.
Whether you’re just starting to explore how your work can make a difference or already leading change in your career, Net Impact at Booth offers a space to learn, connect, and lead with purpose.

Impact starts with relationships. We build spaces where Boothies connect authentically—through small group dinners, pub nights, and cross-club collaborations that bring together people who care about purpose. Our goal is to make Booth’s social impact community feel welcoming, energized, and lasting.
Signature events: Pub Nights, Small Group Dinners, Cross-School Mixers, Net Impact Families
We help Boothies explore how to turn passion into profession—whether through consulting, investing, corporate sustainability, or nonprofit leadership. Members gain access to resources, panels, and real-world insights that make the path to meaningful work clearer and more actionable.
Signature events: Career & Recruiting Notion Hub, 2Y Career Roundtables, Social Impact Consulting Workshop, Cross-Club Panels
We offer opportunities to learn from practitioners and peers who are redefining what leadership looks like in business and society. From the annual Social Impact Summit to immersive workshops and speaker series, members develop the skills, confidence, and perspective to lead with purpose.
Signature events: Social Impact Summit, Philanthropy Trek, Speaker Series, Issue-based Workshops, Volunteering Events
In collaboration with the Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation, Net Impact helps lead the Golub Capital Board Fellows Program, one of Booth’s flagship social impact experiences.
The program pairs Booth students with Chicago-area nonprofits for year-long board placements, giving Fellows the opportunity to apply business skills to real organizational challenges while gaining hands-on experience in nonprofit governance and leadership.

Are you an aspiring product manager? Are you interested in how technology can drive social impact? Are you considering work in the public sector now or in the future? Join us for an exclusive lunch & learn with Kira Tebbe '22, a Booth alum who currently is a Senior Manager at the Aspen Institute's Financial Security program working with state governments to modernize public benefits delivery. Before joining the Aspen Institute, Kira was a member of the inaugural cohort of the U.S. Digital Corps Product Management Fellows, where she worked at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Administration for Children and Families on developing new products to modernize technology operations and better serve the agency's stakeholders. Whether you're heading into consulting, tech, government, or social impact, Kira's story will illuminate how she transitioned from Booth into the public sector, tackle misconceptions around public sector work, and highlight how she was able to drive impacts that were only possible within government. Lunch will be provided!
