Student Groups
Adam Smith Society
The Adam Smith Society is a student-run organization that explores the links between the economy, government and society through debate and discussion. The group invites noted business luminaries to speak on a variety of topics that are of interest to the community. The Society aims to inspire business students to think about their own responsibility in seeing our economic system endure as well as stimulate discussion about how to improve the economy and society. There are multiple chapters of the Adam Smith Society across the United States at other universities and the Society offers a strong network of current and future business leaders to help inspire Tuck students to achieve their potential within the business world. During the academic year our group hosts a speaker series as well as social events.
Net Impact
Net Impact is an international nonprofit organization of more than 10,000 new-generation leaders with a mission to inspire, educate, and equip individuals to use the power of business to create a more socially and environmentally sustainable world. The Tuck Net Impact Chapter, supported by the Center for Business, Government & Society, has an active program of speakers, career support and social events.
The Business and Politics Club (BPC)

Projects are staffed with 3-5 Tuck students, with each student donating an average of 10-20 hours on the project through the fall and winter terms.
