ABOUT US
campusCATALYST is a student-run organization at the University of Chicago that engages in high-impact pro bono consulting. Each quarter, 25 students are chosen from a selective interview process to serve as community analysts for the following quarter. The cohort is enrolled into the UChicago course titled, “The Business of Nonprofits: The Evolving Social Sector”, where they work on a consulting project for a Chicago nonprofit alongside academic coursework. Students are additionally assigned a Booth or Harris mentor to guide them through their consulting projects.
OUR GOALS
OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
In the Chicago area alone, over 5,000 college students are pursuing degrees in business, economics, social policy and other related fields. In the classroom, these future leaders are honing their minds to address the social ills of tomorrow; however, campusCATALYST believes that they can and should take action today.
With a support network of the country’s top professors, business school students, and professional consultants as mentors, students will not only be able to provide tangible solutions for nonprofits, but they will be able to take part in a rich social entrepreneurship experience. Through program participation, campusCATALYST hopes to demonstrate to students how career and commitment to community can be one and the same.
