15 Insights from Social Impact Leaders to Inspire You

Social Impact Leaders

CASE has the honor of an impressive group of thought leaders in the social impact space serving on our advisory council. These social impact leaders provide us with a wealth of insight into what they see going on in the field and what is needed from future leaders like the MBA students at Fuqua.

In 2016, many of the members of the CASE Advisory Council also shared their insights through articles, podcasts, journal writings, and even their own books. We’ve rounded up a selection of their writings from the past year to help inspire your own social impact and give you the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds in the field today. We hope you enjoy!
