Boundless Impact is proud to be a part of the team that was awarded the top $500,000 prize in Greensboro’s Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2) Economic Development Challenge. The announcement was made on August 17, and marks an important next step toward the development of a Global Opportunities (GO) Center in downtown Greensboro. The GO Center will serve as a hub for global engagement in Greensboro, harnessing the talent of college and university students from the 7 higher education institutions in our area, and expanding the global identity of our city and state.

The GO Center team was also comprised of UNCG’s Office of Research and Economic Development, N.C. A&T State University, Guilford Technical Community College, Bennett College, and the NC Small Business and Technology Development Center.
