Student Experience

We filtered in from various locations into Pollinate Energy’s home base called the Hive to start our newest ISC adventure in Hyderabad, India. Our official start Monday morning in the Hive was only the start to an overflowing day of introductions, immersion, and adventure.  We met and learned more about our hosts, Pollinate Energy and …

I was a humanities major as an undergrad. Asian Studies, with a concentration in Japanese language. Part of the challenge of learning a new language for me was this: It was not just the words I needed to learn, it was an entire way of thinking, a world view, and a shared cultural understanding. In …

  If you’re looking for reassurance that today’s energy problems are being considered by the best and the brightest our generation has to offer, look no further than the 117 EDF Climate Corps Fellows deployed across the country this summer. The fellowship program recruits and trains top graduate students, traditionally from MBA and engineering programs, …

Smart. Successful. Professional. Ambitious. Confident. I associate these words with management professionals and my classmates at Presidio Graduate School (PGS). Genuine. Selfless. Positive.

In part, the problem with water from an environmental, economic, and social perspective is that we have misallocated its value. Environmentally, we waste it instead of conserving it, …

Students and staff at Presidio Graduate School attended the SF Green Film Festival last week to decompress and celebrate together the end of another powerful semester. We had the opportunity to watch the documentary “ThuleTuvalu,” a story about two places at opposite edges of the world but with one common threat: climate change. The film documents …
