Project Pyramid Update



During Spring Break, a group of graduate students from multiple schools across Vanderbilt traveled with the Turner Family Center for Social Ventures to Guatemala and Ecuador. The students traveled as a part of a class called Project Pyramid, which is open to any graduate student at Vanderbilt and focuses on meaningful engagement with socially conscious organizations. Students are divided into groups and paired with social enterprises to work together on a consulting project to be delivered by the end of Mod 4. This year, clients included a water purification business, a female-owned eco-lodge, a natural skincare business, and a pollution-friendly stove business. 

A big thank you to everyone who participated!
