#ThrowbackThursday! Last month, students traveled to the rainforest of Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, for the Penn Social Impact lab, a one-week, intensive course offered by @upenn_npl and @csis_penn.

The group stayed at Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat and spent the week learning how innovation and entrepreneurship play a central role in public problem solving. Open to students across Penn, the course gave students a set of tools and strategies that will prepare them to be effective problem solvers in diverse settings throughout their careers.

What factors allow people to prepare for and recover from natural disasters?

Dr. Chenyi Ma, a research assistant professor at #PennSP2, conducts interdisciplinary research that investigates the role of inequality in disasters’ impact and points to policy solutions. Having first come to SP2 as a @pennsp2_phd student, he now teaches SP2 students while conducting research on disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.

In a new Q&A, Dr. Ma speaks about his journey to Penn, his research, and the impact he hopes it can have on policy in the face of climate inequality. 🔗 Read the interview at the link in bio.

#PennSP2 alumna Terri Broussard Williams, NPL`20, is an award-winning lobbyist, nonprofit executive, and public speaker. A graduate of SP2`s @upenn_npl program and a member of the Dean`s Alumni Advisory Board, Terri serves as head of state and local government relations at financial services firm Edward Jones.

In this #SP2AlumniSpotlight, Terri discusses her SP2 experience, her professional journey, and her commitment to creating meaningful, systemic change.

🔵 Why did you choose Penn and SP2?
I chose Penn and SP2 because they offered a program that aligned perfectly with my goals as a social impact strategist and lobbyist. SP2’s focus on understanding how to do good in the world while addressing systemic issues resonated with me deeply. Additionally, SP2’s Center for Social Impact Strategy (@csis_penn) offers the Executive Program in Social Impact Strategy, which I completed before my master’s degree. It provided me with a strong network of changemakers who continue to support and promote each other’s work. This community focus, combined with the quality of education and opportunities for real-world impact, made Penn and SP2’s Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership Program the perfect choice for me.

🔵 What are you looking forward to in your career, and how do you think your SP2 experience has or will impact your professional path?
In 2020, I wrote a book called, “Find Your Fire: Stories, Strategies and Tools for the Changemaker in You.” In my career, I’m looking forward to continuing to write and bring my next book to life soon. As I write, I recall the many lessons I acquired at SP2, which gave me the agency to know that I’m writing from a place of research, principles, and a desire to advance social change for good. SP2 is known for being a driving force for positive impact, with an enduring pledge to advance the pursuit of social innovation, justice, and policy; eliminate oppression; and foster a better future for all. I carry that spirit with me each day, and I’m excited to see how it will continue to impact my professional path.
