“No matter the industry—technology, affordable housing, impact investing—I’m always looking for the people trying to get into the game but who are just on the periphery,” she says. “How can I help them get into the field and launch their impact journey?”
Sam Watson '01, MBA'06
Founder, The Samfund
Watson enrolled in the Heller MBA program in 2004. “That program was very real for me,” she says. “I would take a fundraising class and then go home and write a fundraising appeal. I would take a human resources class and then go back and work on an employee handbook.” Nurtured by Watson’s real-time acquisition of MBA skills, her nonprofit (The Samfund) slowly grew and took on structure.
