Bard graduate students will be helping companies and colleges save money and slow down global warming this summer.\u00a0 The Environmental Defense Fund<\/a> has selected two students from the MS programs in Environmental Policy<\/a> and two MBA in Sustainability<\/a> students as Climate Corps Fellows<\/a>. They will be embedded in leading organizations nationwide, providing expert hands-on support to manage and reduce both energy bills and pollution.<\/p>\n

On the MBA side, Marianna Souza<\/a>, MBA \u201916 will be headed to Chicago to Baxter International, and Brooke Forde<\/a>, MBA \u201916 will stay in New York City to work with the Goddard Riverside Community Center.\u00a0 Representing the MS programs, Jillian Corley<\/a>, MS \u201915 will be working with the Alamo Community College system in San Antonio, and Christina Wildt<\/a>, MS \u201915 is headed to Hanover, NH where she will be working for Dartmouth College.<\/p>\n

The highly competitive program selects around 60 graduate student fellows each year, from MBA, engineering and public policy programs. Last summer, dual-degree student Rochelle March<\/a> MBA \u201915 \/ MS \u201915 served as a Climate Corps Fellow, where she helped develop a green construction program customized for new Dunkin\u2019 Donuts restaurants. March researched energy efficient and sustainable construction methods and equipment to be integrated into Dunkin\u2019s prototypical specifications as well as for Dunkin\u2019 Donuts restaurants wishing to implement more green construction methods.<\/p>\n

“EDF does an excellent job of preparing fellows and facilitating the program.\u201d said March. \u201cI loved working with Dunkin’ and having the opportunity to help them design an impactful initiative that will benefit the company and its many stakeholders.”<\/p>\n

Christina Wildt\u2019s work at Dartmouth will focus on design of a distributed, renewable energy system. \u201cIt seems as if Dartmouth has already picked the lowest hanging fruit, with a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency,\u201d said Wildt. \u00a0\u201cI’m thrilled to help the college construct a plan to move into the future of energy management.\u00a0I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy<\/a> believes that to solve environmental challenges and achieve sustainability in our institutions and in society, government and business policies must be grounded in the best available science.\u00a0The Bard MBA<\/a> in New York City<\/a> focuses on the business case for sustainability. We train students to see how firms can integrate economic, environmental, and social objectives, the integrated bottom line, to create successful businesses that build a more sustainable world.<\/p>\n
