Social Impact Summit
On October 8 and 9, BASES will be hosting the first-ever Social Impact Week! Come to learn about pursuing impactful careers, how to launch a successful social enterprise, and where social entrepreneurship is headed.
Social E-mmersion Course
From January to April, a group of 15 selected students will enroll in our “Social E-mmersion course.” For 10 weeks, they will learn about the different pieces of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem and how they piece together. Students will engage in lectures and discussions with Stanford faculty in addition to visiting social impact organizations, from for-profit social ventures to non-profits, foundations, impact investing firms, and accelerators.
Tackling Today’s Troubles
Every month, we will bring in an expert to discuss a social problem and possible solutions with 10-15 Stanford students. The goal of Tackling Today’s Troubles is to expose students to a variety of ways to engage in social entrepreneurship.
Social Impact Fair (Haas Fair)
Stanford’s Haas Center for Public Service holds an annual Social Impact Fair to expose students to social impact internships and careers. This year, BASES will bring more business-related opportunities and marketing to the Social Impact Fair.
Social Impact Case Competition
The BASES Social Impact team will hold a 12-hour event in which groups of Stanford students work to solve a business problem a partnering social enterprise is facing. Throughout the event, we will hold workshops on case competitions and discussions with the social enterprise. Finally, the event will end with group presentations and outstanding teams receiving prizes.
