California Management Review
California Management Review is a premier academic management journal published at UC Berkeley
by Andrew Isaacs and Natàlia Costa i Coromina
Two UC Berkeley students forced into online classes during COVID-19 realized - due to their volunteer experiences championing educational equality - that younger students (K-12) could suffer social isolation and reduced learning opportunities. So, the undergrads brainstormed how to tackle new educational and emotional challenges pre-college students faced due to pandemic restrictions. Connect-In-Place (CIP) launched in June 2020 fulfilling the mission of building a learning community to ease isolation. In the ongoing pandemic, the founders considered how to sustain CIP: Profit or nonprofit? Could volunteer college students remain committed during full-time school? How to measure CIP’s impact?
