Social Impact in Tech Design Challenge

The Haas Net Impact and Tech Clubs are proud to host our first annual Social Impact in Tech Design Challenge! Join us for a half-day symposium where attendees will:

• Learn about the history of CSR and social impact at corporations
• Compete in teams to solve an actual social impact issue from a leading tech company
• Network with impact-focused professionals/alumni at leading tech companies
