I had a fantastic time participating in the recent ClimateCONNECT conversation on Public-Private Partnerships for Climate. It was great to meet new MBA students from different programs and connect with my classmates as we shared insights on how government and business can collaborate to develop climate solutions. Thank you Valerie Dzifa Attah for being a wonderful moderator and Jessica Wingert for organizing the event.  Dishita Shah, LEED® Green AssociateTM, Ana Hernández, Praise Ifetogun, ClimateCAP
