Sign Up to Participate: 2024 Corporate Engagement Challenge
IEN’s Student Corporate Engagement Challenge is a first-of-its-kind student investment challenge in which students pitch an investment in a publicly-traded company, and include in that recommendation a shareholder engagement strategy focused on addressing inequality and the climate crisis, as they are systemic risks that threaten a healthy society, and in turn, healthy portfolio returns.

Students participating in the 2024 Challenge will build off of the inspiring real-world engagement work student teams initiated in previous years, and will continue to create outsized impact both on how their college or university endowment invests, and on the actions of corporations.

By filling out this form, I formally sign-up to participate in the 2024 Corporate Engagement Challenge with 2-4 of my colleagues (listed above or confirmed by Jan 8th). In the event that more teams sign-up than IEN has the capacity to adequately offer mentorship and educational opportunities to, I understand teams will be selected to participate on a first-come first-served basis. With this in mind, participating teams will be announced the week of January 11th, and the submittal of this form is not a guarantee of participation. *
