Laura Hurley

Laura Hurley, Marketing & Communications Director with the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS), is responsible for overseeing brand communications strategy to increase visibility for the IGS’s thought leadership and applied research. She has significant expertise in sustainability issues from her previous leadership role as Public Relations and Social Media Director at the Appalachian Mountain Club, where she supported the conservation non-profit’s research and public policy advocacy focus on land and water, air quality, climate, and energy. When not busy helping to protect our environment, Hurley is outdoors enjoying it — soaking up spectacular natural beauty wherever the hiking trail takes her.
