MIINT

RNI is thrilled to bring the MBA Impact Investing Network & Training (MIINT) program to Rotman, adding our name to a short list of some of the world’s top business schools!

MIINT is an experimental learning initiative that engages MBA students to learn more about impact investing through online learning, industry advisors, and exclusive industry networking and career trek opportunities. Teams will select an organization creating social impact, that they will analyze further through the academic year, and eventually pitch for funding.

This year’s program starts in September 2017 and culminates in April 2018 with a competition at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School in Philadelphia, with teams from all participating MBA programs. MIINT is an initiative of the Bridges Impact Foundation in collaboration with the Wharton Social Impact Initiative. RNI is bringing MIINT to Rotman with support from the Michael Lee-Chin Family Institute for Corporate Citizenship.
