Interactive Site Offers Virtual Exploration of Groundbreaking Impact Alumni, Faculty and Students Have Had Across the Globe
In celebration of 75 years of doing business beyond usual, UCLA Anderson School of Management announced the launch of the Global Impact Map, the first-ever interactive microsite designed to highlight the significant changes the school's alumni, faculty and students have made across the globe.
Found at AndersonImpactMap.com, the site was developed to encourage social interaction between current students, faculty and alumni and offers an ever-expanding look at the achievements, advances and global effects that the Anderson community has made throughout the world. The accomplishments include contributions made in corporations, organizations and various communities through their works, studies, discoveries, etc., since their involvement with the school.
"This is an exciting innovation of UCLA Anderson, introducing an interactive tool that tracks the extraordinary accomplishments of our students, alumni and faculty," says UCLA Anderson Dean Judy Olian. "It's most impressive and heartening to observe the depth and breadth of our community's leadership and societal accomplishments."
The impact that students, alumni and faculty have made around the world ranges from effective international business leadership and new business development to community service projects, such as the promotion of children's literacy in Guatemala, research conducted in Japan that has affected education in the U.S. and efforts to eradicate poverty.
To encourage interactive participation, the Global Impact Map allows the user to document his or her own accomplishments, review those that others have achieved, or nominate a member of the UCLA Anderson community to be included in the map.
