A growing portfolio of alumni-supported impact.

Impact 57 brings together Executive MBA alumni and current cohorts to fund and support initiatives that create meaningful, measurable outcomes. Each initiative represents a step toward building a sustained, alumni-driven platform for long-term impact.

First Initiative

UT Outpost

Impact 57’s first initiative supports UT Outpost, a campus-based program providing food, clothing, and essential resources to students in need.

This effort originated from the Executive MBA Class of 2023 Capstone Project and represents the foundation of Impact 57—demonstrating how a single cohort can create lasting, meaningful impact.

Focus Areas:

  • Expanding access to essential resources for students
  • Supporting student well-being and stability
  • Strengthening campus-based community support programs

Current Initiative

The next Executive MBA Capstone Project will be selected and supported through Impact 57, continuing the model of alumni-driven impact.

As participation grows, so does our ability to fund and elevate future initiatives—enabling each incoming cohort to contribute to a broader, sustained effort.

Each new class builds on the impact of the last.

Future Pipeline

Impact 57 is building a continuous pipeline of initiatives—supporting each Executive MBA cohort while expanding opportunities to fund high-impact, community-focused organizations.

This approach is designed to:

  • Scale impact across multiple cohorts
  • Align alumni around shared initiatives
  • Create a sustained model of giving and engagement

Built to grow. Designed to endure.

How Initiatives Are Selected

Initiatives are identified and supported through a structured process:

  • Originating from Executive MBA Capstone Projects
  • Evaluated for community impact, feasibility, and alignment
  • Supported through alumni funding, guidance, and engagement

This ensures that each initiative reflects both meaningful need and the collective intent of the Impact 57 network.

Events & Engagement

Impact 57 hosts curated opportunities for alumni and participants to connect, stay informed, and engage with ongoing initiatives.

These include:

  • Initiative briefings and updates
  • Alumni gatherings and networking events
  • Opportunities to support and participate in active projects

Be part of what’s being built.

Support current initiatives, contribute to what’s next, and help scale impact across future cohorts.
