From Sustainability: The Journal of Record, June 2011, 4(3): 113-116, an article by Ted Mero about ASU School of Sustainability graduate Bavousett and how a degree in sustainability from ASU fits in with companies’ needs today.
Brigitte Bavousett is the first-ever student to graduate with a degree in sustainability. Surely in a world moving toward a more sustainable future, the first accredited graduate in the field could take the professional realm by storm, picking and choosing from the endless suitors knocking down her door. As sustainability programs continue to develop and expand throughout the country’s colleges and universities, those who enter the field must build a knowledge-base and skill set that is not only practical, but marketable, as they look to overcome the instinct of business to tackle its sustainability goals and challenges with in-house employees.
