Supporting student leaders who are committed to creating social impact with the SDGs can benefit universities and society as a whole. By fostering a culture of social responsibility, attracting and retaining students, building partnerships and collaborations like the Millennium Fellowship, and addressing societal challenges, universities can play a key role in creating a more just and sustainable world.
Partnerships between undergraduates working on social impact and their universities (SDG 17) can be incredibly valuable for achieving the SDGs. By leveraging the resources, expertise, and support of universities, students can more effectively implement their projects and make a greater impact on the world.
Here are the main objectives for the discussion:
Foster a culture of social responsibility among the university community by supporting young leaders who want to create social impact with the United Nations SDGs.
