Worldwide | College of Business Annual Report (23-34)

Vantage Point Speaker Series: Aviation Sustainability The Worldwide College of Business virtual speaker series, Vantage Point, took a deep dive into sustainable business practices in 2023. With a spotlight on sustainability in the aviation sector, the objective was not just to discuss ideals, but to arm students, faculty, alumni and industry partners with actionable insights. The college hosted four events, beginning with a January session on embracing green business models. The March event examined the process of setting and achieving sustainability goals, while the May session investigated the risks and rewards of sustainable business practices. Finally, in November, we looked at sustainable practices in airports. The series sparked critical dialogue and offered our community real-world perspectives on corporate social responsibility — a topic that will only grow in importance in the years ahead.
