Reid Hall 242 His ten years running a remote sustainability education campus in Australia offered a powerful understanding of the real challenges of integrating efforts across the leadership of staff, programs, curriculum, students, operations, and budgets to promote a more sustainable future. After watching the Australian sustainability campus that shaped his professional and personal views almost destroyed by climate change-induced bushfires of late 2019, he felt called to do more to positively impact the sustainability space.

Integrating his passion for teaching, learning, research, and experimentation, his thesis focused on uncovering insight to support professionals and educators committed to leveraging education as a powerful piece of the sustainability puzzle. |
