Making Sustainable Choices
Conference 2008 | April 5
At this year's annual conference, MSLOC will apply the learning and organizational change lens to the topic of sustainability. In the past few years, sustainability has become a central theme for many organizations, large and small. Many have embraced sustainability initiatives; however, fewer organizations have been successful in creating real change across their entire organization. At the conference, attendees will learn more from these panelists about their business case for change and successes in creating a culture of sustainability.
MSLOC Conference
On June 9, 2007, our students hosted a MSLOC Conference, titled “Solving the Puzzle of Learning & Leadership.” This half-day conference was designed to connect students, alumni, faculty and practitioners interested in the intersection of learning, leadership and change. The conference featured experts who explored relevant topics in leadership and the role that learning plays in developing leaders.
