A Brief Walk through Environmental History
Professor Andrew Hoffman
Boston University School of Management
(Conference Auditorium)

The study of environmental management in colleges and universities is booming. Tomorrow‚s workforce is being educated today by a growing number of environmental courses within business, engineering, science, journalism, law and public policy schools. Students are being taught to see environmental issues in ways that are fundamentally different than those of previous generations. Is the environment just a fad? Or, is it a field with long term staying power? Professor Hoffman will walk you through a history of environmentalism as it relates to business. Starting in the early 1960s and moving to the present, he will discuss how it is changing both education and the work environment that today's students will enter.
