“It is truly empowering to spend part of my week in a room full of people driven to do good for this planet-–those willing to do what is necessary; people who are not hindered by their own attitudes, and rather have a mindset that there is still hope, who want to collaborate and nurture abundance, and who recognize the two-way transaction we must have with the world around us.”

—Lauren Schanbel, Class of 2024
