The program began in fall 2003 and conferred degrees on its first graduates in May 2005. In addition, the College established an important resource center for businesses wanting information on how to become more sustainable. It's called the Center for Sustainability at Aquinas College. You can visit the site here: http://www.centerforsustainability.org/ Further, one of our Sustainable Business professors, Matt Tueth, Ph.D., just recently published a book "Fundamentals of Sustainable Business - A Guide for the Next 100 Years." As stated by the author, "the work provides a clear and engaging go-to source for understanding the complex and often misrepresented sustainable business movement." If you are interested in resources, here are some names: Matt Tueth, Ph.D., Steelcase Foundation Professor of Sustainable Business, 616-632-2191 tuethmat@aquinas.edu Deb Steketee, Ph.D., Associate professor of Sustainable Business& Executive Director for the Center for Sustainability at Aquinas College, 616-632-2930, stekedeb@aquinas.edu Jessica Eimer, Program Coordinator, Center for Sustainability at Aquinas College, 616-632-1994 eimerjes@aquinas.edu Center for Sustainability, 616-632-1994, c4s@aquinas.edu Thanks for listening and please, consider us as an important resource.
