This year over sixty MBA students from BU joined forces with local nonprofits to make a significant impact on the local community. Students from a multitude of disciplines were formed into teams of four to help local nonprofits overcome different organization challenges.
"After spending the majority of my days studying theories and lessons learned from case studies, it is incredibly refreshing to be able to apply my newfound skills to a real world challenge with an organization like NDEC that can benefit from my service."

“Link Day was an answer to a long standing prayer - a tremendous service! The team was interested in our non-profit needs, helped me to formulate the best approach to address our financial system problems, and worked diligently to help resolve them. They operated as a "think tank" researching, developing, and implementing strategies to improve our financial systems.”

“The Link Day planning committee was especially proud of this year’s event because we were able to expand it by 50%. Our fundraising efforts proved more successful than anticipated, particularly in this economic climate, which allowed us to increase the number of nonprofits, MBA students, and faculty members participating. It was very rewarding to be able to increase the number of people who could be positively impacted by our efforts.”
