In our final episode of Season 1 of the Toucan Abroad Podcast, we focus on social impact. What is social impact learning? How does it differ from service-learning? As a social enterprise, TEP is committed to ensuring that all our programs have a social impact.

To help us answer these questions, our guest this episode is Erina McWilliam-Lopez, Associate Director at the Social Impact Lab at Lynn University. Erina has experience in professional education, curriculum design, talent development, and teaching core concepts of social entrepreneurship and responsible investing. In her role at Lynn University, she leads a social impact curriculum innovation taskforce.

Erina teaches in the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur’s Academy, volunteers as an executive coach with Everwise, a startup focused on democratizing coaching, and is the co-director for a finalist concept in the Reimagining the Higher Education Ecosystem Challenge organized by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Education Technology.
