Undergrad Perspectives :: the Business of Changing the World

Net Impact sought to take the pulse of how undergraduates' opinions about have evolved on responsible business, their role in affecting change in their careers, and whether they are prepared to do so.

They administered an online survey to 1,650 undergraduates in Spring 2009. 45 different colleges and universities across the U.S. were represented, including schools both outside and within the Net Impact undergrad network.

The survey results are presented in this brand new January 2010 report Undergraduates Perspectives: The Business of Changing the World.


I found this section of the report particularly interesting:

Today’s undergraduates feel they have at least a moderate understanding of issues like corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability, but lack the same level of confidence in international development, social entrepreneurship, and nonprofit management.
