As Schulich's graduate student club created specifically for students driven to make BIG impacts on improving the lives of individuals and society as a whole, the Social Impact Management Association (SIMA) provides opportunities to make connections within the Nonprofit and Social Enterprise sectors. By engaging with the club's programming, students have unique opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge through workshops, exclusive certification programs, professional speaker series' and industry tours.Formally the Nonprofit Management Association (NMA), the club has a history of enriching the student experience and has connected many former students with companies in the Nonprofit sector. Redesigned at the start of the 2014/15 school year, SIMA includes the growing sector of Social Enterprise and recognizes that business efforts involving a drive to positively benefit society may not always fall under a Nonprofit umbrella.
