The MBA Social Impact Club hosted two salon dinners with discussions on business challenges centered around sustainability and leadership. Dinners were a way to get students outside of the classroom and connecting with real-world business issues.
Salons provided great conversation with inspirational people. Attendees heard both the academic and business perspective on common issues, and had the chance to share their own insights and experiences. Each dinner was limited to 15 students to provide an intimate setting, and all students reviewed materials in advance of the dinner, to prepare them for a meaningful discussion.
