Net Impact

Net Impact is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a network of business leaders who use the power of business to create a positive net social, environmental, and economic impact.

Our chapter hosts speakers, organizes educational, volunteer, and career-related workshops and events, coordinates an annual welcome retreat for new and continuing students and attends Net Impact conferences. The Chapter also competes in business case competitions like the Food Solutions Challenge and the Annual Net Impact Case Competition.

Our Mission

The Graduate Chapter of the Net Impact Club is led by MBA students, but open to all graduate students at UC Davis who seek to drive environmental and social change on our campus, in our community and on our planet. 

Net Impact offers networking and educational opportunities that bring together students and alumni and encourage community involvement. From career treks to Social Entrepreneur Enablement Design Sprint (SEEDS), community volunteering events and Earth Day celebrations, we provide our members and the GSM community with a wide variety of opportunities to engage with one another in new and thought-provoking ways.

“In addition to its many accomplishments, the Davis team has spread the Net Impact message to the 120-person student body, creating a chapter that while small in number, is mighty in impact.”

- Liz Maw, Former CEO, Net Impact

UC Davis Graduate School of Management is perhaps the smallest chapter in Net Impact, yet pulled off participation in the Food Solutions Challenge, Net Impact Case Competition, was the only club in the program to lead orientation activities for incoming students and accomplished the first-ever Overnight Career Trek that saw 20% participation from the entire full-time MBA student body.
