Grad and undergrad students from ALL U-M schools and colleges are invited to participate in the 2017 Social Impact Challenge (SIC). This event marks the kickoff of the competition. The case statement will be presented live and teams will hear from Challenge partners, content experts, and stakeholders. Important logistics and planning details will be covered as well.

This year’s Social Impact Challenge is presented in partnership with UM-Flint’s Office of University Outreach, who will be making the presentation at this event. At the heart of 2017’s challenge is the question, “How do we advance entrepreneurship efforts in Flint to revive neighborhood centers and city corridors for economic development?”

All participating teams are required to have a representative at the Kickoff in Flint or Ann Arbor.

Teams who participate in SIC ’17 should attend a site visit in Flint on Friday, January 27 from noon to 5 pm.
