Upcoming IBES Events

Climate change is a large-scale and increasingly relevant topic. From rising waters to erratic weather and large scale fires, the devastating effects of climate change are seen by everyone. From your daily coffee, weekly grocery bill, or monthly energy bill, climate change has a hand in all these rising prices. Come learn how your everyday decisions can help mitigate the impact of rising costs, especially in the aftermath of the recent devastating LA wildfires.
The International Business Ethics and Sustainability Case Competition (IBESCC) consists a series of competitions, where teams of 3-5 students compete with their pitches addressing a business ethics or sustainability problem in a real life company, government entity, or nonprofit. The aim is to help students explore the moral imperatives of sustainable development and interact with at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our SDG Student Ambassadors, have strong understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), environmental responsibility, and social call to justice. This year SDG Student Ambassadors will create an initiative, on or off campus, where their work will advance an SDG. At the end of the semester, their progressed will be showcased in the annual SDG Ambassador Reflections publication that will be highlighted on the SDG Ambassadors page.
