The M.S. in Sustainability Management Information Session and Alumni Panel, hosted by Columbia University’s School of Professional Studies, is an event designed for current and aspiring sustainability leaders who wish to pursue a career in management at the intersection of business and the environment. The evening kicks off with an information session offering a deep dive into the program's curriculum, flexible formats, and distinguished faculty. This will be followed by an alumni panel featuring graduates who are driving real-world impact across industries, sharing how the program shaped their careers and perspectives on today’s most pressing sustainability challenges. To conclude, attendees are invited to a networking reception with faculty, alumni, admissions representatives, and fellow prospective students where they can ask questions, exchange ideas, and explore how this program—and the vibrant Midtown Manhattan-based community it’s rooted in—can support their next step in sustainability leadership.
