The program not only gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goal of a rewarding career in a new industry – the in-class experience, a close-knit community of alumni in business and a rigorous curriculum, to name just a few – but I found a group of like-minded professionals who I am proud to call my friends. If I can do it, anyone can do it!

Toward Sustainability and other Tangible Goals

Thea Junt, MBA’16, environmental sustainability consultant for Southwest Airlines, joins host Lisa Shatz for a discussion about the company’s Nonstop to Net Zero initiative. They discuss how the SWA is meeting its strategic goals toward reducing its environmental impact and achieving sustainability, not only in its use of aviation fuel but also in its community outreach. They also go over ways students can incorporate sustainability into their education, no matter their major, and how workers can contribute to their companies’ efforts.

Junt also explains how she creates a meaningful work-life balance by taking home her passion for sustainability with gardening and planting habitats in which caterpillars can thrive to become butterflies.

Shatz is assistant dean for MBA Programs at the Jindal School.
