MARKET IMPACT HUB

Powered by Thought, Intent, and Action.

The Market Impact Hub (MIH), at the Kogod School of Business at American University, is a place for synergistic activities related to research, teaching, generating awareness, creating understanding, and fueling community engagement.

Our vision is to equip future generations with the tools they need to practice modern marketing with moral action and loyalty to advancing consumer well-being. Through a dedication to issues relevant to the institutions that affect our health, happiness, and the value we place on our existence, MIH can positively impact lives, communities, and society.
