生态挑战
The 生态挑战 is a semester-long, cross-disciplinary, team-based leadership experiential simulation focused on sustainability. In teams of five to seven, students work on a real-world sustainability issue on the 雅典 campus or surrounding community by envisioning a solution to a problem, working with community stakeholders, and presenting a business pitch for their solution. It extends beyond the classroom as students engage community stakeholders, 访问网站, and develop a sustainability project with criteria for success with buy-in. Professionals in fields like data science, 银行, and engineering provide tools and coaching to teams to develop criteria for measuring the impact and benefits of sustainability on people, 这个星球上, and prosperity now and in the future.
The Challenge culminates in a final event with a pitch to a judging panel. In order to choose a winner, the judging panel assesses criteria, including validity and relevance of claimed benefits, implementation of practicality and risk, rigor and believability of the ROI analysis, clarity and completeness, response to potential concerns of all stakeholders affected, and professionalism.
Those interested in participating in the 生态挑战 can register for the MGT 3435 领导 in Practice course, which is offered in the fall each year and also serves as the capstone for the Strategic 领导 Certificate.

"The ECO Challenge was such a positive and impactful experience for me. Because of the ECO Challenge, I was able to work on an interdisciplinary team and create a viable solution for the University that can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses, as well as potentially reduce carbon emissions. I can truly say that this experience has been incredibly unique, 奖励, and beneficial for all involved."
