We held our first Eco-Week this past Spring semester, to celebrate Earth Day, and to raise awareness among the students in the MBA program at SFSU about sustainability issues, and to empower the students to support causes associated with creating a sustainable world.  During Eco-Week, there are speakers, videos, booths, displays, and handouts.  We hope to continue Eco-Week as a semesterly event, and to maintain an interest in sustainability among MBA students.  Thanks!
