Tuck Delegation to COP15
A team of students, led by Professor Anant Sundaram and Allwin Initiative Director Pat Palmiotto will attend COP15, the United Nations hosted climate change negotiations to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark. With debate across the globe and American President Obama's emphasis on the green economy and job growth, events in Copenhagen will give students an excellent opportunity to consider the intersection of business interests and society's needs. To share their insights with the Tuck community, they will blog from the meeting and organize a series of talks during the winter term. Check here for their blog from the meeting starting in mid-December.
Work on the trip started last spring when the Tuck team applied to the U.N. for official "observer" status. The Dartmouth Energy Collaborative took the lead in publicizing the trip and forming the student team.
2009 Summer Internship in Nicaragua
Intern: Alex Figueroa T’10 [Alex's blog]
Project: The work of coffee producers across the globe can be characterized as labor-intensive and marginally profitable. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), based in Waterbury, VT, is widely known for its CSR initiatives. GMCR has sought to better understand quality of life issues faced by coffee farmers in Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Mexico.
The work that Alex Figueroa T'10 is doing this summer builds on a Spring Term 2008 First-Year Project in which a team of students conducted field research in Nicaragua. The work in Nicaragua has been supported by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and the Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship with a generous donation from Gene and Mary Hornsby.
