New in 2018, Perspectives in Sustainability is a three-part series designed to help Booth students grapple with the most challenging issues facing our planet and to understand how MBAs use their business skills to tackle these issues.
Cohosted with Booth's Career Services, the series is led by the Rustandy Center's Sustainability Executive in Residence Karen Weigert, the first-ever chief sustainability officer for the city of Chicago and current senior fellow on global cities at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
On October 4, Weigert will lead the first session and provide a grounding in the sustainability field.
