The 麻豆视频鈥檚 Patel College of Global Sustainability (PCGS) commemorated
a decade of pioneering sustainable solutions with a three-day 10th year anniversary
celebration filled with inspiration, collaboration, and recognition of the need for
global impact. The event centered on a Nov. 3 sustainability conference that was a
true reflection of PCGS鈥檚 decade-long journey in shaping leaders for a sustainable
tomorrow.
Alumni and students took center stage with keynotes that were not only insightful
but also a testament to the transformative education they received at PCGS. They spoke
with passion about their roles in confronting sustainability challenges, echoing the
innovative spirit instilled by the college. Dr. Kiran Patel, whose vision catalyzed
the creation of PCGS, noted, 鈥淭o change something, build a model that makes the existing
model obsolete.鈥� These words resonated as alumni panelists illustrated their work,
embodying the change that Dr. Patel envisioned.
