Social Impact Is Personal for MIND and Our Partners

In each episode of the Inside Our MIND podcast, we take a look at issues and challenges facing education that we are working to address through research, technology and strategic initiatives.

In our latest episode, Brian welcomes Executive Vice President/Executive Director of Social Impact Karin Wu to the show for a discussion about MIND’s mission and how our partners help us pursue it. Karin shares the story of what brought her to MIND, which leads to an exploration of how personally the mission resonates with so many people who work here. She also highlights some of the work our partners are doing with us, and how integral their support is to MIND’s success.   

We have these amazing donors who see the future for the problems it already has, but also for the possibilities they could create if they work with an organization like ours.

-Karin Wu, MIND Research Institute
