Setting up a region for success is what I was looking for in a company and DAI stood out to me right away. DAI has provided resources and integrated solutions regarding climate, 戴资本, 数字加速度, 经济增长, 教育, 环境, 脆弱国家, 全球健康, 治理, and sustainable businesses.

博士怎么样了?. Franz’s class or your writing of “Shaping a More Livable World” impacted your understanding of sustainability and future personal and professional goals?

Dr. Franz’s class impacted my depth of knowledge of sustainability. I believed I knew what it meant to be sustainable, but I was wrong. Being sustainable is more than just 环境, I see sustainability as a business-oriented notion. The best way to be sustainable is through business, business makes the world move. 因此, I find my purpose to be intentional with my time with how I apply myself to internships and job opportunities. I do not want to compromise what I now stand for due to this class for higher money opportunities.
