In this issue of EnviroLink we are pleased to debut this new "School Spotlight" feature to highlight the work of pioneering MBA programs that participated in our 2003 Beyond Grey Pinstripes report. We encourage you to explore the syllabi, course structure and other resources these programs are using to integrate sustainability content into their MBA programs.
