Social Impact Report 2021

Our Social Impact Report 2021 is a report card, a testimony, and a call to action. It's our story of resilience, creativity, and triumph in the face of global disruption.

In March 2020, the world changed, and we responded. Higher education needed a shake-up, and the pandemic accelerated our action. Collectively, we adapted and created impact.

Now is the time for the change-makers, the disruptors, and the agitators. Now is the time to truly connect the world for good.
