“The capstone project allowed me to pull together all the information, resources, and skills acquired throughout the graduate program to create a thoroughly researched and elaborate climate action proposal for my organization. The research process provided an opportunity to share my knowledge with all levels of leadership and demonstrate application of triple bottom line principles and how they can elevate business performance. “
