Kogod’s MS in Sustainability Management Alumni are Gamechangers

Written by Darby Joyce | December 7, 2022

 

The Kogod School of Business’s MS in sustainability management program (MSSM) attracts students from all walks of life. With undergraduate degrees in traditional business disciplines such as environmental studies, hard sciences, and more, there’s no one path to discovering your talents in sustainability management. What sustainability leaders do need, however, is the ambition to use their education as a force for good in promoting environmentally conscious initiatives in their careers.

Diverse experiences and the motivation to create positive change are reflected in the Kogod in the Know podcast series, where MSSM alums discuss their post-graduation career paths and what inspired them to pursue sustainability in their professional lives. This five-part series gives alums the floor to reflect on their experiences and demonstrate how Kogod built upon their desire to make a difference in our world.

An Ever-Changing Field

The inaugural episode highlights Hannah Debelius, a science, technology, and policy fellow at the Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office. After earning a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the College of William and Mary, Debelius returned to her home city of Washington, DC, in search of a graduate program that would enable her to navigate many career paths with a sustainability slant.
