Loyola is partnering with a Bethesda-based consulting agency to launch a Social Impact Fellows Program, which will offer students the opportunity to understand and work to solve problems related to inequities in the community.
Loyola Trustee Carrie Fox, ’01, founder and CEO of Mission Partners, a consulting agency based in Bethesda, Md., decided to start the Social Impact Fellows Program because she was inspired by the work of Loyola’s innovation task force.
“I saw an opportunity for students to use design thinking as a practical approach to solve problems in the community through a racial equity lens,” said Fox, who will mentor the fellows. “The point of the fellowship is for Loyola students to take the skills they learn into a work setting. This will allow us as people—and Loyola students—to enter into a very complex world and be able to build more equitable communities.”
