What people are saying about the GreenMBA

“It was a genuine pleasure to work with the Green MBA Team as they researched and designed the Maker Faire Alternative Transportation Plan.  We were able to successfully institute this plan with the city and county departments and raise awareness in the process.  The overall experience for our attendees improved greatly while reducing the impact the Maker Faire had on the environment.  The professionalism, diligence and aptitude of the team was top notch and together we made a difference.  This collaboration was an astounding success and our first benchmark goal was accomplished.  A great appreciation to the students for a job well done! Thank you.”
