CBEY Alumni Visiting Mentors

This program brings alumni expertise to students as a resource for exploring ideas and pathways at the intersection of business and the environment.
Mentor

CBEY supports students interested in exploring ideas and pathways at the intersection of business and the environment.  Our alumni mentors have started ventures, are working in corporate roles that deeply consider climate and sustainability, are exploring new business models, or have a hand in furthering innovations that address pressing environmental challenges. This program connects current students with alumni who’ve stood where they are now, and have gone on to make a meaningful impact in the field.

Since launching in spring 2018, the Yale Center for Business and the Environment has facilitated hundreds of student-alumni connections through the Alumni Visiting Mentor series. Each academic year, a diverse group of professionals across industries dedicates time to meet with students and share insights on everything from industry trends and business ideas to career guidance and coursework support. Mentors engage with students throughout the year and, when possible, join us for on-campus or virtual events.
