The Michigan Ross community uses business to drive positive change every day. Through economic and social impact initiatives, action-based learning, faculty research, world-renowned institutes, and much more — we stand out as one of the most progressive sources of ideas and solutions for how business can solve the global challenges of our generation.

Business+Impact Initiative
The Business+Impact (B+I) initiative is a central hub for resources, co-curricular experiences, action-based courses, and events that give community members an opportunity to connect with other leaders and together, make a positive impact in communities globally and locally.
