01
Live sessions
Weekly one-hour conversations with professors, executives, entrepreneurs and practitioners. More conversation than lecture.

Applied work
Real questions and projects, not only theory, worked through a sustainability lens with CESUPA: frame the problem, gather evidence, decide, present.
-
03
Peers and feedback
Learn with people you would not otherwise meet. Faculty and peers respond to your thinking.

Relationships

The Fellows
Learn with people you would not otherwise meet.
Each Class brings together leaders with different backgrounds, disciplines and ambitions. The difference is intentional.
