You choose to study the world around you for a reason. What is it?

The #1 question scholars should ask before bringing their research, expertise, and big ideas to the world is...
what impact do you want to have in the world? 🌎
What do you want to HAPPEN because of your work?

This might be anything! You might want to support communities you care about, affect cultural change, or translate important knowledge and tools for folks that could most benefit from them. Or perhaps you'd like to build trust with people that you'd like to work with or showcase what you can do in your field!

The sky is the limit... so what will be your impact? 👀
