Global Development
Overview
One of the greatest challenges we face is growing inequality in society. While globalization has pulled millions out of poverty, many parts of the world are still struggling to find work and get food and clean water.
We are committed to helping balance out inequalities. With our diverse and inclusive global network of students, leaders, entrepreneurs and partners, we are working tirelessly to provide resources and opportunities to these underserved communities.
