What Past Immersion Participants Have Said

 

"It did a great job of moving sustainability out of an academic context, and providing a real world application. It showed how things aren't always as clean and easy as they appear in books, and that hard work is needed."
C. Matsumoto, 2011

"I am reborn now, I thought I knew a lot but I didn't know anything. If you think you know sustainability think again. This course will give you a great deal of understanding of what has been done and what will soon to be done in the sustainability sector. If you want to make a change in the world, take this course."
E. Andre, 2011

"This program was extremely dynamic, challenging, and rewarding. It was definitely one of the most worthwhile learning experiences I've had the pleasure of participating in."
K. Boustead, 2011

"This program will blow your prejudices up, then teach you how to put your perspective back together again in new and fresh ways."
K. Merena, 2011

"The Foresight team is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. They teach, not preach, sustainability as it relates to the world in which we live. Other programs may provide a wider array of information, but no other sustainability program I'm aware of focuses on getting things done."
B. Flanders, 2010

"Immersion requires you to let go of everything you think you know. It is a healthy, challenging program that gives you the tools necessary to become an innovative leader."
B. Townley, 2010

"What I have learned about sustainability at my university was only a drop in the bucket compared to the knowledge that I acquired here."
D. Dedonato, 2010

"This program is a fantastic hybrid that provides a grounding in both the essence and existence of sustainability. A theoretical framework of how to approach the subject, meetings with people implementing sustainability principles, and real world experience in relevant projects make this program valuable for students and professionals interested in how to make an impact while using sustainability principles."
U. Noormohamed, 2010

"Working through the program gave me a better idea of what my goals actually were. Having identified my goals more accurately, I can pursue things more efficiently."
A. Foran, 2009

"I find Peter's definition of sustainability more accessible and active than others I have heard because it can be applied to any problem or system. I was expecting to learn more technical/theoretical knowledge about sustainability, but I find that internalizing this definition and applying it to projects much more valuable."
J. Dickinson, 2009

"The program is appropriate for a wide variety of backgrounds. In fact, specific backgrounds may be less important than passion for and interest in sustainability issues, a desire to learn, a positive attitude, and a good work ethic."
A. Cody, 2009
