Quotes
“The Segerstrom Symposia is an opportunity for APU and the community to dialogue with world-class scholars and professionals on scientific and technical concerns of interest to all. We look forward to engaging experts on issues from a variety of perspectives.” - David Weeks, Ph.D., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
“The term sustainability is about the alignment of social impact, environmental impact, and economic impact. What we’re promoting is that there is an opportunity and not necessarily a conflict in a company’s pursuit of having positive environmental and social impact, at the same time as being able to produce good economic results.” - Panelist KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz of Sustainable Life Media.
