Emerging Sustainability Leaders Soiree: Join The GREEN Program this Thursday!

This Thursday, join the GREEN Program for their Soiree!

As they said from their website,

This April, The GREEN Program invites you to take part in the celebration of young emerging leadership in sustainability. Through this event, Emerging Sustainability Leaders Soiree, GREEN will be bringing together student leaders and like-minded organizations of the Greater Philadelphia area unlike any other function before.

Our high-impact experiential education model has brought together young driven leaders from more than 210 universities and 75 countries around the world, composing our GREEN Alumni Network of more than 1,300 participants. This event is a celebration of the ongoing development of sustainability-related initiatives, forward-thinking organizations, and next-generation student leaders that are facilitating this culture shift.

Similarly to our programs, the Soiree will not be traditional. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to swim between tectonic plates in Iceland, hike Machu Picchu in Peru, or grant you access into the world’s leading energy facilities. However, we will take you outside your professional comfort zone through an evening of unconventional presentations, exhibits, and networking. Connect with our chief Alumni who are determined to lead the next wave of positive social impact and sustainable innovation.

Emerging Sustainability Leaders Soiree

  • When: April 9, 2015, from 6:30pm – 9:30pm
  • Where: The Sustainability NEXUS, 2401 Walnut Street
  • Get your tickets here.
