NYCLab Request for Proposals - Due July 14th
 
It is my pleasure to announce our annual NYCLab RFP <https://gps.bard.edu/academics/nyclab> for a Bard MBA <https://gps.bard.edu/academics/mba-in-sustainability> consulting team to focus on sustainability challenges and opportunities at your organization. NYCLab <https://gps.bard.edu/academics/nyclab> is a full-year course in Bard College's #1 Ranked <https://leadthechange.bard.edu/blog/bards-mba-in-sustainability-ranked-1-green-mba-for-third-straight-year> MBA in Sustainability program. The class gives our students hands-on and virtual consulting experience while providing your company with a small team to focus on a concrete sustainability challenge from October 2023 to May 2024. Projects do not need to be in NYC to qualify - our MBA student consulting teams have worked with businesses, agencies, and non-profits from all over the world. 
 
The student work is carefully mentored by the course Professor, Laura Gitman <https://gps.bard.edu/our-people?search=laura&name=Laura+Gitman>, who is also Chief Impact Officer of BSR <http://www.bsr.org/>. In recent years she has guided the MBA teams through consulting projects with Pirelli <https://corporate.pirelli.com/corporate/en-ww/sustainability/sustainability>, Etsy <https://www.etsy.com/impact>, Oatly <https://www.oatly.com/en-us/oatly-who/sustainability-plan>, Target <https://corporate.target.com/sustainability-ESG/strategy-target-forward>, and Clif Bar <https://www.clifbar.com/who-we-are>, as well as smaller for-profit and non-profit organizations including Just Salad <https://www.justsalad.com/sustainability>, Vibrant Seeds <https://www.seedinajar.com/>, Medgar Evers College <https://ares.mec.cuny.edu/>, and Queens Community House <https://www.qchnyc.org/>. 

In pursuit of our JEDI + Anti-Racism Roadmap Goals <https://gps.bard.edu/mission-and-values#anti-racism>, we are continuing our commitment <https://leadthechange.bard.edu/blog/nyclab-call-for-proposals-black-organizations-matter> from 2020 to actively recruit Black, Indigenous, and People of Color-owned businesses, as well as social justice-focused nonprofits and government agencies. Please see our post here <https://leadthechange.bard.edu/blog/nyclab-call-for-proposals-black-organizations-matter> on how you can support BIPOC-led and/or serving organizations in applying to NYCLab.
