As an SMGT student, you may receive guidance related to professional organizations, networking tips, and attending conferences.
Gaining Experience
Begin with the end in mind. It is never too early to consider creative ways to build your professional portfolio and gain experience in the Sustainable Management industry. There are many opportunities to participate in throughout your academic journey to immediately apply newly gained knowledge, strengthen existing transferable skills, and develop new areas of proficiency. During your time in the program, you will participate in a capstone fieldwork experience, and you’ll have access to resources related to internships and volunteer opportunities.

Meet Your Success Coach
Robin Schwenn
My college years were some of the best years of my life, but it did come with many different challenges. From balancing school and work (juggling 4 different jobs at one time) to getting through some pretty tough courses, with a little trial and error, I was able to find strategies to move forward and reach my goals successfully. I enjoy working with students to help them find solutions that work for their unique situations and learning styles.
