Drexel University’s Professor Damian Salas recently discussed the intersection of business and social responsibility with WHYY and NPR. The interview, featured in the article “Why you shouldn’t volunteer in person during the holidays, and how you can really help Philly’s hungry,” highlights the importance of strategic philanthropy and the role of marketing in addressing social issues.
Professor Salas, assistant teaching professor and associate dean of academic partnerships at the Close School, shared his insights on effective philanthropy, drawing on his experience at Horizon House where he witnessed firsthand how access to basic necessities can transform lives. Now, he uses his position at the Close School to inspire students to think critically about how they can contribute to solving societal problems through both business and social responsibility.
