U-M’s engagement with Detroit has extended over two centuries, and the Michigan Ross commitment to Detroit has continued for over 30 years, a mission that inextricably links the campus with the City of Detroit.

The +Impact Studio is a home for those shaping ideas for a better world, and we believe we are all architects of the future. With the essential tools of design and business, powered by research insights, we can build a future that is sustainable and just for all.

In collaboration with DNEP,  Business+Impact supports an initiative to provide Detroit entrepreneurs with the accounting and monetary services they need to successfully launch and grow their businesses. These businesses help to create jobs in the Southeast Michigan region and ultimately help the growing economy.

Michigan Ross students can now learn to confidently navigate a rapidly changing business world with a strong foundation in the environment, social impact, and corporate governance. And we are one of the first business schools in the country to offer an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Concentration.

Business+Impact supports Ross and Ford students along with business minors in doing summer impact internships around the globe in roles in the public or nonprofit sectors or at social ventures.
