BU Climate Innovation Challenge Grand Finale
Prepare to be inspired by a range of ideas by BU students and alumni that tackle pressing issues such as mitigating extreme weather effects, promoting climate justice, and managing sea level rise. The highlight of the evening will be the announcement of winners, who will share a $15,000 prize, the largest prize pool of any previous Changemaker Challenge. In addition to celebrating their achievements, the event offers an excellent opportunity to network with sustainability and innovation experts at the reception. The judges include: Hessann Farooqi (CAS’22) is the Executive Director at Boston Climate Action Network and leverages his experience organizing campaigns for US President, US Senate, US House, and Boston Mayor, as well as serving in a US Senate office, to create opportunities for all people in the City of Boston to live in healthy communities that are resilient to climate change. Miriam Posner Harris, Executive Vice President of the Environmental League of Massachusetts, oversees brand growth and strategic partnerships and manages its Corporate Council, linking major businesses to environmental sustainability. She has also served as the Director of Energy & Environmental Policy at A Better City in Boston and Senior Policy Analyst at the U.S. Department of Energy. Rev. Mariama White-Hammond (STH’17), Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space for the City of Boston, carries out the Mayor Wu Administration’s priority agenda on climate action, renewable energy, and environmental justice. She has received numerous awards, including the Barr Fellowship, the Celtics Heroes Among Us, The Roxbury Founders Day Award and the Boston NAACP Image award.
