A Different Kind of Learning

Each academic year, the Erb Institute hosts 10–15 co-curricular workshops designed to expose students to a diverse range of perspectives from professionals working at the intersection of business and sustainability. These sessions offer industry-focused deep dives, giving students a closer look at the practical details and real-world challenges within specific sectors.

Many of our presenters are Erb alumni representing a wide range of industries, and we also welcome professionals from organizations with which we maintain strategic partnerships.

Previous Workshops

  • Kyle Kasten, MBA/MS alum and US Sustainable Agriculture Lead at PepsiCo

  • Anthony Marx, Erb Fellows Alum and Sustainability Specialist at BorgWarner

  • Rodger Bowser, Head Chef and Managing Partner at Zingerman’s Delicateseen 

  • Rachel Deradororian-Beaudoing, Associate at Buro Happold

As a BBA major and PiTE minor, the Erb Institute has provided me with the co-curricular space I needed to build upon the business sustainability topics I'm introduced to in class. Our speakers and events have broadened my perspective on how I can shape the sustainability of corporations and keep the environment in mind in both my academic and professional life. Amazing resources and conversations to be had for anyone who seeks them out!
