" "I have my dreams and ambitions which may or may not be similar to yours. We may be driven by different passions and possess varying skills, but our concerted efforts can make an impact far greater than we could have alone. Just as a business becomes stronger with diverse thinking towards a unified vision, a community is empowered by different parts working towards a shared goal. It is that synergy that motivates me to continue striving for social good." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Business for a Better Waltham
The students at Bentley University, supported by the Bentley Service-Learning
and Civic Engagement Center, learn that business can drive positive change.
Through this project, we aim to accelerate this process in our home city of
Waltham, Massachusetts.
Through this project, we will conduct research and engage with community
leaders to create a number of resource guides. We will create a guide to equip
Waltham businesses to advance social good (including, but not necessarily
limited to: effective community partnerships, ethical supply chain practices, and
sustainability) through their business practices. We will make a guide for
Waltham consumers that highlights businesses advancing social good, with
categories and indications of the social good that the organizations are
advancing. We will create a document that details business opportunities for
organizations advancing progress toward Sustainable Development Goals.
Lastly, working with civic leaders and business leaders in the city, and drawing
from accessible data, we will develop a resource that will serve as an overview
of community needs in Waltham.
About the Millennium Fellow
Tanya Litam is a senior at Bentley University, pursuing a double degree in Business Economics and Sustainability. Growing up in a small city in the Philippines, Tanya noticed the role of relationships in the resilience and growth of small communities. More particularly, she realized the influence of strong relationships in the success of small town businesses. Learning more about business in college has taught her how it can be a powerful platform to promote social good, especially in adopting more sustainable practices. Tanya hopes for an even more environmentally conscious future for both producers and consumers.
