Ross Climate Week 2025
With the rise of sustainability in the world and the increased prevalence of students interested in sustainability at Michigan Ross, there is a need to upskill students on the fundamentals of climate science and how to apply those skills to business scenarios.
After the success of Ross Climate Week (RCW) 2024 and 2023, we see further desire to continue this initiative.
RCW 2025 is a 8 session initiative planned for Winter 2025 where students can learn from peers, professors, and industry practitioners. This initiative offers students to engage in a deep dive on topics not offered typically offered in business school core courses with tangible and hands on takeaways.
Ross Climate Week: Climate Change 101So you know climate change is important, but you're not sure why or you need a refresher? This session is focused on giving you a 101 on Climate Science so you can walk away able to explain climate change and understand why climate science is important to making business decisions.
