Each student received intensive feedback on their research project. The participants and faculty members represented a range of management disciplines and methodologies. This Academy represents one of the foremost learning and networking events for students researching social and environmental issues.

"My experience at the Sustainability Academy was easily the most valuable and fulfilling time I’ve experienced during my program. Not only did I receive amazing feedback on my work, but it gave me the opportunity to develop friendships with amazing people who are doing research that will have a meaningful impact. The faculty mentors spent a great deal of time providing detailed comments on everyone’s papers, and sharing their insights about the field. Their willingness to engage with the students on a personal level made this experience all the more valuable. It doesn’t hurt that the facilities and environment at Ivey are first class. This is an experience I’ll cherish for the rest of my career."
