After a nice and long Winter break, the beginning of the Spring semester is upon us during these cold and snowy January days. Now that we are in the second week of classes, it is evident that we as a group have gotten back into the rhythm of classes, client meetings, assignments, and group projects. The final semester of our academic journey in the MBA Sustainable Business Practices program will be complete in less than four months. But, our adventures will continue in classes such as Strategic Innovation Management, Marketing, Consulting Project III, Leading Change in Sustainability, and Global Business, which will include a class trip to Peru (and a reprieve from this cold Pittsburgh weather) at the end of next month.
In addition to classes and trips, we have been busy applying to jobs and interviewing with potential employers. Some of us are still unsure of what lays ahead in our professional plans, while others are taking the first strides to embark on professional endeavors in fields such as, sales, finance, green building, and operations. The reality of entering (or reentering) the workplace is soon upon us and so is the excitement of seeking new challenges and applying the skills and principles that we have learned during the program
