Established in 2007, the Center for Sustainability was created  to tap the wealth of intellectual capital in place at Dominican in order to support existing and emerging “green” programs. The Center identifies and promotes economically viable green business practices and serves as a think-tank for ongoing green projects on a community, regional, and global level.

Using an integrated, systemic approach, the Center engages in collaborative research, program development, and public education programs designed to help business and society adapt and thrive in a sustainable environment.  See more here.

What people are saying about the GreenMBA

"Learning how to "breakdown" a project has been a fabulous tool for me in business.  I am a Facilities/Project Manager by training and have to think "systemically" in my daily work day, however, getting fully engaged in a "project" for class and working on a "team" project takes you deeper into the process.  How to use systemics and critical thinking in determining whether a project is ready "for the street" or whether it needs to be drilled deeper to get the core of what will make it successful.  It's a study in chaos and systems planning.  I find myself thinking about who will be my next "test case" - or victim!!!"
