- President John F. Kennedy.
At the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, I see myself exploring a path in environmental policy and management. Over the summer, I attended the Tennessee Governor's School for the Agricultural Sciences where I was engaged in a Natural Resource Management survey class. My professor (a former forest ranger) taught the class his love for the environment, and how to protect the environment while gaining benefits. This class inspired me to pursue an environmentally related occupation, while still maintaining my zealous business career plan.
Environmental policy should be implemented within every business setting and can be managed in a feasible manner. Environmental policy should also promote practices that improve the environment yet still allow utilization of the vital resource. Today, with help from the media and the government, environmentally friendly practices are economically beneficial. With an environmental policy and management concentration, I want to build the framework that will allow these practices to still be economically feasible in the distant future.
