Make your Career (& Life) Make a Difference, Tuesday, April 19th, from 2:30 - 8:30 pm

An afternoon discussion for those interested in contributing "more" through their careers and personal lives

Hosted by The MIT Sloan Socially Responsible Business Club and the Babson Net Impact Chapter

MIT Sloan School of Management, Bldg. E-51 Wong Auditorium

The MIT Sloan Socially Responsible Business Club and the Babson Net Impact Chapter are pleased to host this special event open to everyone interested in making a difference through their life and work. There is a growing demand for more information about careers in corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, socially responsible investing, and the non-profit and public sectors generally. Additionally, many people want to explore their options for giving back to their communities outside of their professional lives. These may include becoming active in philanthropy, volunteering their time, or serving as board members for organizations. Unfortunately, many do not know how to get the information they need to start making a difference in a way best meets their own needs and goals. Through a series of speakers, panel discussions and a networking session, this symposium will help students and social sector professionals connect and begin to address these important inquiries.

To maximize learning opportunities, the symposium will bring together seasoned social sector professionals and area-focused students with others who may be new to this area and might have "always wanted to ask" what the social sector is all about and what they can do. Our hope is that everyone will both share and benefit from the community that will gather for this event. To further this goal, we will end the afternoon with a networking session in which students and other attendees can mingle with panelists and speakers to learn more about career paths and volunteer opportunities.

Beth Tener of SSNE will be presenting a talk entitled "The Big Picture: Pathways to Find Meaningful Work in Our Changing World"
