As a freshman, I felt lost when I didn't see myself or my values reflected in my major. That all changed when I happened upon the Center for Social Value Creation.
Immediately I was drawn in by the idea that businesses could balance public good and bottom-line profits. I watched all the videos I could find (including one by business guru Michael Porter), and visited the CSVC office to learn more. I walked away with a lifelong mentor and list of opportunities to pursue.
Getting involved with CSVC has been one of the best decisions I have made at the University of Maryland. Through the center, I have been able to meet business leaders from across the globe, work as a student consultant to increase the positive impact of a local nonprofit and travel to Seattle for the National Net Impact Conference. The Center for Social Value Creation is truly a ray of light in the Smith School. I can say with confidence that this is only the beginning of my journey.
