Student-Led Shareholder Engagement Network

The mission of the Student Shareholder Engagement Network (SSEN) is to foster collaboration among higher education students to compel corporations towards justice and sustainability through shareholder engagement.

This structure may include regularly scheduled calls, online communication channels, and processes to manage institutional relationships including student turnover and institutional endowment partnerships.

  • Additional Resources on Shareholder Engagement: Shareholder engagement addresses material investment risks, improves corporate sustainability performance, and supports policies that move society towards sustainability through strategies including proxy voting, engaging in dialogue with companies held in the portfolio, filing or co-filing shareholder resolutions, and signing on to public investor letters or statements.

    • Proxy Preview - Proxy Preview is the most comprehensive data on hundreds of shareholder resolutions - including environmental, corporate political spending, human rights, diversity, sustainable governance issues, and much more.
  • The Student Conference for Corporate Responsibility: This conference took place in April of 2019 at Yale University, and convened undergraduate and graduate students and faculty involved in running student-managed funds across the country, with the goal of broadening students' understanding of both sustainable finance and shareholder engagement.
