COMMUNITY IMPACT LAB
What Is A Community Impact Lab?
Community Impact Labs provide an inclusive space for collaboration, where students, business leaders, and community members co-design, test, and implement forward-thinking solutions that drive meaningful change.
Through community-based participatory research, these labs support real-world learning, innovation, and relationship-building between businesses and future leaders.
How It Works
The Community Impact Lab is more than a think tank. It’s an action-driven initiative where businesses actively collaborate, experiment, and implement solutions that work. The Lab follows a four-step approach to innovation and impact:
🔴 EXPLORE – Identify challenges and emerging opportunities.
🟡 FRAME – Define the issue and develop practical solutions.
🟢 SHIFT – Implement and refine strategies for real-world application.
🔵 REFLECT – Assess outcomes and refine approaches for continuous growth.
