Addressing serious environmental and natural resource problems requires ingenuity, agile thinking, and innovation. The Bren Environmental Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Innovation) focus offers an experiential curriculum designed for students who wish to acquire the skills and mindset needed to drive innovation within an existing organization or to launch a new entrepreneurial venture. Bren MESM graduates who have completed the Innovation focus have applied this training to advance their careers in corporate sustainability, Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) consulting, nonprofit management, public sector leadership, and social and environmental entrepreneurship. Gifts to this Fund have a direct and personal impact on our students by providing training and resources to the next generation of innovative environmental leaders.
