History

Dominican University of California's GreenMBA program is the nation's first Master’s of Business Administration in Sustainable Enterprise, created from the ground up by Jane Lorand and John Stayton beginning in 1999.

John Stayton spent fifteen years in high technology industrial marketing and sales, with an M.B.A. in International Business from Dominican University of California.  Seeking a more ecological lifestyle, he purchased an organic farm in Sonoma county.  He began searching for an opportunity to use his business acumen to develop a new kind of profession that could nurture a healthy environment and just society.

Jane Lorand had worked as an elementary school teacher, a tax attorney, and the director for Research at the Center for Critical Thinking and Moral Critique.  She holds an M.A. in Education and a J.D. from Hastings College of the Law.  She worked as a consultant to the electric industry, creating a public education campaign during California’s deregulation experiment.

What people are saying about the GreenMBA

"Learning how to "breakdown" a project has been a fabulous tool for me in business.  I am a Facilities/Project Manager by training and have to think "systemically" in my daily work day, however, getting fully engaged in a "project" for class and working on a "team" project takes you deeper into the process.  How to use systemics and critical thinking in determining whether a project is ready "for the street" or whether it needs to be drilled deeper to get the core of what will make it successful.  It's a study in chaos and systems planning.  I find myself thinking about who will be my next "test case" - or victim!!!"
