Comm & Sustainability I |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
One of the greatest challenges for leadership in sustainability is
multidisciplinary communications. Currently, sustainability itself lacks
meaning and emotion, which leads to a lack of commitment and execution.
Therefore, all future executives must be proficient communicators who can
convey vision and human context to the organization’s sustainability
initiatives. Helps you survey your internal communications environment,
understand students target audiences and their unique customer centricities
and develops their voices through the use of proven story structure. |
EMS |
509 |
Comm & Sustainability II |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Marketing and communication professionals in all industries are
attempting to keep up with the rapidly expanding landscape of multichannel
communications. This is especially true in sustainability, given that the
Chief Sustainability Officer must understand and appreciate the modes of
communications across all platforms, not just in the consumer market. Maps
internal, external and target audiences/markets; strategizes channels to
reach them with sustainability stories; and creates a multichannel communications
plan that incorporates modes of engagement for all audiences. |
EMS |
513 |
Comm & Sustainability III |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Most stories of sustainability are driven and told with data as its
central character. Unfortunately, data is nearly meaningless to our minds
unless it is placed in an illuminating human context. The best chief
sustainable storytellers bring meaning to data through the use of metaphor
brought to life by thought-provoking narrative. Story grips the mind and
propels people forward. Students develop proof of concepts for campaigns,
expand social media presence and influence, create and record a 20-minute presentation
in the style of a TedTALK, and become a leader in sustainable communications. |
EMS |

everyday decisions. Explores iconic sustainability issues and trends and
their impact on their organization, institutions, communities and
stakeholders. Applies tools to identify the relevant risks and opportunities
within their organizational context and investigates potential responses. |
EMS |
506 |
Global Context II |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
As material sustainability issues are identified and prioritized and as
the organization applies sustainability as core success platform, the
organization looks to mitigating risks outside of its control, shaping the
risks it can control, and creating new opportunities and leveraging those
identified in the process. Global context comes into focus not only in
expanding resource relationships and concerns, but also across dimensions of
time, responsibility, success and a growing need to engage with an ever-growing
group of stakeholders and potential partners. Organizations and leaders must
innovate and execute at all levels of the organization to match the evolving
reality. Explores and applies global sustainability as a knowledge platform
for ongoing success, organizational innovation and effective organizational
leadership. |
EMS |
511 |
Global Context III |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Sustainability leaders help their organizations recognize when material
issues require solutions that extend beyond their control or capabilities,
and when to look for, participate in and potentially lead industry,
cross-industry, regional or other collaborative approaches. Global
sustainability context becomes an increasingly proactive concept where
individual and organizational responsibility and success extends to a global
scale. Organizations organize themselves as agents of change toward
sustainability that aligns with more traditional organizational success.
Students learn from successes and failures of current and past attempts and
assess the implications for this change in leadership perspective to their
organizational context. |

The international immersive experience takes place in a compelling
location where all the challenges and opportunities of sustainability are in
play. It is designed as a dynamic vehicle to make real-world connections to
sustainability leaders, projects and communities, and is among the most
memorable experiences of the program. Students "see" and
"feel" sustainability from another country and culture’s
perspective and see the overlap and conflict to their own context. Extending
one’s professional network to other host countries and generating a
reflective experience and analysis report are experiential learning artifacts
that are generated from this experience. Collaborative teams work through a
sustainability case study and present their solutions. |

organizations; environments. The proof of concept also becomes the final
component of the e-portfolio. |
EMS |
503 |
Strategic Sustainability I |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Sustainability requires that strategic thinking reaches beyond
traditional forms and horizons of strategic planning, such as forecasting and
prediction, in order to deal with expanded planning dimensions, emerging
"wicked problems" and to identify flexible platforms for success.
Explores the interface between strategy and sustainability, developing a
framework for strategic sustainability that underpins authentic and
transparent strategic efforts. Students engage in mapping, planning and prioritizing
methods, tools and techniques to identify and assess strategic opportunities. |
EMS |
507 |
Strategic Sustainability II |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
As sustainability becomes a core strategic goal of any organization, it
impacts all aspects of the organization from informing risk and reward to the
definitions and dimensions of innovation and overall success. Uses reframing,
re-visioning and backcasting via a sustainability lens as constructs for
introducing strategic sustainability across all aspects of an
organization–both internally and externally. Applies various methods such as
natural capitalism, design for sustainability/method of sustainable product
design, Anderson method, cradle-to-cradle and framework for strategic
sustainable development to develop flexible action platforms for sustainable
enterprises. Students create a strategic vision, action plan for an
organization, including critical external partnerships with communities and
institutions. |
EMS |
512 |
Strategic Sustainability III |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Organizations that aim at sustainability come to recognize that they must
be part of sustainable success on all scales, from local to global, from
internal to external and for today and tomorrow. Tools such as resource
plans, investment pathways, stakeholder engagement and policy influencers set
the theatre for sustainability-oriented organization to challenge the status
quo and advance agendas that embed both success and sustainability. Students
apply their enhanced strategic sustainability skills to examine select case
studies on international sustainability in corporate and nongovernmental
agencies. |
EMS |
505 |
Sustainability Leadership I |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
The practice of leadership in sustainability requires leading in
multidisciplinary roles across multiple scales of an organization. In many of
today’s organizations, leadership must identify, communicate and support
novel organizational contexts as sustainability emerges. Enables students to
meld powerful and traditional leadership skills while challenging the
student’s prior knowledge with multiple lens of leadership in a
sustainability context. Students create a personal plan for their unique
needs and personal growth toward sustainability leadership. |
EMS |
510 |
Sustainability Leadership II |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
As sustainability emerges as a core strategic platform for an
organization, leadership and sustainability intertwine; leadership
opportunities–and responsibilities–greatly expand; thus requiring
innovation. Individual leadership and organizational leadership are asked to
find opportunity via extended definitions of critical systems; value webs,
increased roles for diverse internal and external partnerships, and the need
to lead within increasingly complex and unpredictable global systems. Engage
students to challenge their prior definitions of systems, responsibility and
community from the perspective of sustainability and leadership and provides
a toolbox for leading with sustainability as a fundamental success platform. |
EMS |
514 |
Sustainability Leadership III |
|
|
GRD |
SF |
Lasting, sustainable change fully takes hold once ownership and
accountability extends well into the organization and community. Engages the
student to identify and apply pathways to inspire, persuade and influence
others to act toward a shared global vision. Future orientation, reframing
organizations to be globally scalable and still be locally focused,
leadership best practices for diverse, multinational, and international human
talents and redefining success and growth using sustainability as a success
lens are great tasks that sustainability leaders face. |

Human Rights & Sustainability |
|
|
UG |
SF |
Addresses the connections between human rights and environmental
sustainability. Legal and scholarly approaches linking these areas present
new perspectives for addressing some of the greatest challenges of our time,
given the important resource dimensions of economic and social rights and the
human dimensions of sustainability. Yet human rights demands and
environmental concerns are not always in harmony. Explores these tensions and
opportunities by examining three substantive areas: urban ecology and human
rights, the human right to food, and the human rights implications of
extractive industries such as oil and mining. Following an introduction to
the key concepts of human rights and sustainability, explores the substantive
areas through theoretical and empirical readings on each; grassroots accounts
of struggles over environment-related human rights; and selections from
literature and film that illustrate the environmental justice issues at
stake. |

Biomimicry teaches biology through the lens of function, thereby
providing a core understanding in biology for all students, no matter their
background. Explores how biologists gather and research information and how
that knowledge can inform other disciplines. Also introduces the art of
translating biological concepts into strategies for application, which is
then carried throughout all the courses. Students learn how to work with
biologists on a biomimicry team and how to weave biology and biomimicry together.
The biologists in the cohort not only learn to look at nature through the
function lens, but also act as subject matter experts for their
interdisciplinary teams and teaching assistants. |

16-week series of lectures and assignments to demystify the design thinking
process, understand how to harness the potential of approaching challenges
with a design mind, distill a design challenge, understand user needs, build
a bridge between biology and design, use a methodology for discovering models
from nature, abstract design principles from bio-inspired strategies, and
translate those principles into sustainable innovations. Participants both

of being answered with science facts. Astronomers are discovering planets
around other stars. Planetary scientists are exploring the worlds in our
solar system. Biologists are unlocking the secrets of metabolism and
evolution. Geoscientists are determining how the Earth supports life. And as
we struggle to build a sustainable future for ourselves, all of us are
finding out how technologically advanced civilizations rise and how they
might fall. This course surveys these topics. In the process, students master
basic concepts from across the major areas of science and learn what makes
the Earth a habitable world. |
