Grad Student Association Rod F. Ziemer Lecture
This spring, in their first year on campus, the Environmental Economics and Management (EEM) Club hosted CAES Alumna and Shark Tank entrepreneur, Kristen Dunning, in Conner Hall. During her lecture, she discussed sustainable business practices, her life's journey leading to starting a clean (no pun intended) soap brand, Gently Soap. In addition to striking a deal on Shark Tank, Kristen's company has won many awards--from Aveeno's 2023 Skin Health Startup of the Year to being Pharell's Black Ambition 2023 Finalist and Award Winner.
