“Sustainability in business is becoming more important as businesses begin to navigate the impacts of climate change and today’s complex social, economic, and environmental challenges. The Sustainability Certificate provided me with multidisciplinary knowledge of complex human and environmental systems that has helped me express considerations that are sometimes overlooked when formulating ways to solve problems and working on projects”
Ashlyn Shumaker, BBA Marketing 2020
