Marshall has an abundance of resources for those pursuing a career in impact, with a broad range of opportunities around sustainability, CSR, impact investing, and social entrepreneurship. The students, faculty, and administration recognize the need for change and respect those who want to use their business acumen to make positive change in the world. Students entering almost any career, from finance to a traditional cause-based nonprofit, have the option to create change and make responsible choices. Anyone who feels this way will find support in their endeavors at Marshall.
Marshall offers a range of opportunities to students who are interested in careers that include social or environmental impact. Many course syllabi build sustainability cases and articles into the curriculum, so all students are at least exposed to the issues and introduced to the solutions. Many elective courses specifically focus on impact issues, such as Social Entrepreneurship, Environmental Sustainability and Competitive Advantage, Digital Strategies for Sustainability in Global Markets, Sustainable Supply Chains, and Impact Investing, which can be taken anytime after the core curriculum has been completed.
Students who are committed to dedicating their education and career to impact can apply for the Graduate Certificate in Sustainability and Business or work closely with the Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab (BSEL). The BSEL hosts a speaker series, career development programs, and a fellowship program for Marshall students. These programs, along with many others, revolve around social and environmental responsibility and social entrepreneurship. The newest BSEL addition to USC is a Masters in Social Entrepreneurship program starting Fall 2014. The USC Sustainability Office is another student resource that offers jobs and projects to those interested in that space. Students have the opportunity to include impact in their Marshall experience as much, or as little, as they want to.

is better than [email protected]The student body at Marshall is active in social and environmental impact. The Net Impact club is one of the biggest clubs in the program. Members, including Marshall students as well as other like-minded USC Graduate students, are all committed to using business skills to make change in their lives and careers. The chapter board coordinates many events over the course of the year, often in collaboration with other clubs and programs. For example, Bill Eggers, a speaker on sustainability from Deloitte, came to speak to a group of students from both the consulting club and the Net Impact club. In the spring semester, Net Impact and the film school teamed up to host an Impact and Media panel featuring panelists from companies such as the WME Foundation, Gathr Films, EcoMedia, Brave New Films, and Participant Media.
Other events such as industry nights, a sustainable food panel, and conversation with Abraaj Capital around private equity and sustainability were also opportunities for students to get involved with the club, make valuable connections, and learn from the experts. There are many opportunities to explore this intersection between impact and business that enhance students’ abilities to think critically about the issues at hand and arrive at creative solutions to solve them. Students have plenty of support both socially and financially to pursue what they are passionate about on campus, as well as in their internships and careers.
The Career Services Office (CSO) at Marshall offers support for those seeking impact careers. A representative in the career office works closely with the Net Impact club leadership on many career-based initiatives. For example, industry nights are some of the most successful events in helping students get internships and jobs. On Industry nights, between 10 and 20 social impact companies (e.g. Toms, Nike, REDF) support students looking for impact careers. These are a result of the collaboration between student club leaders and the career office liaisons. CSO representatives also spend a lot of time helping students tailor their resumes to their areas of interest, and they host company presentations and post internship/job opportunities for students who are interested.
The Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab (BSEL) is another resource that aids students working toward impact-based careers. The BSEL offers mentoring and career counseling for those who plan to actively apply their business degrees to social impact. This support includes subsidies for students who intern at nonprofits.
