My Nonprofit Reviews

I did not expect to spend pandemic getting sustainability management education, but I am so grateful now for the pause of life as it operated before the pandemic and now because I had the chance to dive into studies of how climate change came to be, how we are socially, politically, and collectively responding to this crisis, and in particular, how we might as individuals in a community act to change the bad circumstances, enhance the good, and plan for a better future. The professors at Presidio are top-notch, as is the delivery of material. I enjoy both the online and in-person communities that have sprung up during and after the worst of the pandemic lockdowns, and point to that sociability as a core component of what got me through that horrendously trying time. Further, I have been able to support my studies with abundant work-study programs like TA positions, a Career Services post that has helped me pay my bills during the period when i was furloughed, and I am finding abundant work in the sustainability field now as more and more businesses catch on to the value of investing in sustainable initiatives. Perhaps most importantly of all, through my school work, I get to consult directly with companies on issues pertaining to their operations, strategy or marketing plans. This learning-to-action model is excellently effective at helping me network, try out different jobs in various sectors, and hone my interests in the growing field of sustainability management. Thank you for giving me a chance to give back to the school that has helped me so much!
