About Us
About The Initiative
NUImpact is Northeastern University's student-led impact investing initiative. Since its inception in Spring 2016, we have served as a resource for the Northeastern community to understand purposeful capital, develop technical skills and gain exposure to professional opportunities. We offer thought-exchanges through speaker events, interactive workshops, lecture series and community conversations. Engage with us to get involved in sustainable and responsible finance that builds a better future.
Our Objective
Our objective is to build an environment where Northeastern students can engage with the language of capital and social impact by learning from industry professionals and participating in a fund where students invest in Boston-based impact investing opportunities looking to address social and environmental challenges faced by under served stakeholders.
Our History
In 2015, passionate students Mindi Chen and Ruby Khan from Dr. C. Sara Lawrence Minard's Impact Investing and Social Finance course identified a growing interest in impact investing among NU students and community stakeholders. The female-led initiative made a pitch to Thrive and Mosaic to raise seed capital for a collaborative impact investing space.
