This morning’s Upper School Assembly, organized by Environmental Club leaders Kelly Chu ’25, Radha Munver ’25, Len Glozman ’25, and Alex Sheffield ’26, focused on finding jobs in the field of environmental science and sustainability. Len warmed up the audience with a trivia game, with questions such as when is Earth Day (April 22!). This led into a video featuring former leaders of the Environmental Club, Clement Wong ’15 (a PhD candidate in engineering at the University of Michigan) and Will Greenbaum ’09 (Director of Solutions & Operations at Optiwatt), who discussed their paths to jobs in clean energy. Radha and Alex then moderated a live panel interview with Michelle Aboodi ’12, Senior Manager of Sustainability, Data, & Materials Operations at Decker Brands, and Stephen Wiessner, Executive Director at Flat Rock Brook, a nature preserve in Englewood. When asked about “fast fashion,” which refers to rapidly produced goods that prioritize quantity over quality, Ms. Aboodi said this trend “by design is not sustainable” and “does more harm than good.” Mr. Wiessner spoke about his passion for environmental work, remarking that it’s important to follow your heart when deciding on a career. “It’s a meaningful thing to enjoy your work… and to find something that has value and changes the world,” he shared.
