Hands-on learning and interdisciplinary expertise prepared Izzy Castiglioni (MES ’20) to do what she loves best: protecting environmental resources in her home state.

Sustainability and positive psychology go hand in hand, says alumna and instructor Kim Quick (MES ’15). It’s about doing the most good.

Katera Moore (MES ’06) returns to Penn to teach best practices in partnering with local communities to foster meaningful participation.

Sally Willig believes that experience is the best teacher, so she encourages getting hands-on with the environment—wherever you happen to be.

Samanvitha Danda (MES ’20) envisioned a career in consulting, so she made the most of the flexible curriculum, internship opportunities, and networking.
