Green MBA Program of Dominican University

We have a workspace at Brower so our students, faculty and alums can interact with some of the nation’s
foremost environmental organizations. Our students learn business practices that promote environmental
and social sustainability in any organizational setting. Dominican’s Green MBA program was the first
program to do so, and at Dominican's San Rafael campus offers a rigorous curriculum combining courses
in entrepreneurship, accounting and systemic thinking that both critiques and refines current business
practices.

Survival International
Survival is the only international organization supporting tribal peoples worldwide. Today, Survival has
supporters in 82 countries. We work for tribal peoples’ rights in three complementary ways: education,
advocacy and campaigns. We also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. We
work closely with local indigenous organizations, and focus on tribal peoples who have the most to lose,
usually those most recently in contact with the outside world. We believe that public opinion is the most
effective force for change. Its power will make it harder, and eventually impossible, for governments and
companies to oppress tribal peoples.
