It was wonderful catching up with Anna Helm, Ph.D. and cohosting a great group of students as part of GWU Center for International Business Education & Research in Los Angeles this week! They are competing in a business case competition focused on addressing Ethics and Sustainability in the Fashion Industry. The teams have had a lot of work cut out for them… As part of the trip we were able to arrange insightful visits to Patagonia and LEFTY Production Co. — both incredible local industry leaders. We also made an alumni dinner happen! I’m inspired by the students’ fresh perspectives, positive energy and commitment to sustainable solutions. Most of all, I’m inspired by Professor Helm and Cos steadfast dedication to empowering and guiding rising young leaders… I vividly recall my experience as a student and the impact she had on me as I began to pursue a purpose-driven career path. It’s amazing to collaborate with Professor Helm and GWU full circle. I’m looking forward to seeing many more timely ideas and programs emerge from GW CIBER! Stay tuned… Onward, Inward & Upward ⚡️🌎🚀 LIGHT CoCreative The George Washington University #Education #YouthEmpowerment #Sustainability #Innovation #Fashion #InternationalBusiness #GWU
Erik, thank you for arranging such an exciting glimpse into the garment production industry for me and the GWU Center for International Business Education & Research gang. It was such a treat to see LEFTY Production Co. in action. It was great to meet you, and thank you for hosting us!
Looking strong Erik Haug and Anna Helm, Ph.D.

6moErik, it was lovely to spend time with you in LA! Thank you for assisting us with these amazing site visits! We all enjoyed the alumni dinner. So refreshing to hear about everyone's insights and successes! Thank you also for the shoutout! It warms my heart to know that what I do with passion every day in my role as faculty and CIBER Director at GW has had a positive impact on you - and hopefully some other former students too!
