All about the birds and the bees London MBA students do their part for the environment Hult Blog

Written by Danielle Werner, Global Ambassador and MBA student, Hult London Campus Class of 2017. Every year, the London postgraduate campus uses almost 20,000 sheets of paper.  In an effort to off-set the amount of paper printed on campus, the Environmental Club began the program aiming to plant  1,000 trees during the year. To do so, they raised money through various events and activities, which they then used to purchase seedlings to plant themselves. And yes, this meant toiling outside in the middle of winter! the Environmental Club began the program aiming to plant  1,000 trees during the year. The club worked with Trees for Cities, a charity working to bring more greenery into cities worldwide. The organization started in 1993 in London, and as a whole has planted over 680,000 trees. President Kà ©vin Poncelet and his team of seven MBA students arranged many fundraising events and activities for this endeavor.

President Kà ©vin Poncelet and his team of seven MBA students arranged many fundraising events and activities for this endeavor. For Valentine’s Day, they sold cupcakes, cards, sweets and recycled wood  roses in the London postgraduate campus. Throughout Module B, they hosted cereal cocktail mornings, where fellow students could pay a small fee to combine different cereals for breakfast. But funds weren’t really the problem.  By  the end of February, halfway through the program, the club had planted 300 trees, which wasn’t quite  on target to the 1000-tree goal. Before speaking to the team further, I thought there was still plenty of time to get another 700 trees planted before the end of the MBA. I was wrong. It turns out, you can only plant around London when it’s cold and darker. The roots need time to grow deep into the ground. Once the weather gets  sunnier and warmer, plants will want to grow upward faster towards the light. If this happens before the roots have established a firm grasp underground, the  trees could die, defeating the purpose of the whole  activity. Kà ©vin and the team had a challenge on their hands, and they needed to find a way to get those remaining  trees in the ground before the end of  March. As many organizations have discovered before, people will often verbalize their support of a goal, maybe even give some money to it, but it’s difficult to get people to act. They needed more volunteers, and Kà ©vin put his improving presentation and persuasion skills to use, making a passionate plea to the MBA class. Kà ©vin was able to gather enough volunteers to do a final push at the end of Module B, planting 700 trees in a day at Hult’s own Ashridge estate. Luckily, the plea worked, and Kà ©vin was able to gather enough volunteers to do a final push at the end of Module B, planting 700 trees in a day at Hult’s own Ashridge estate. Environmental club plants an impressive 700 trees in a day at the Hult Ashridge campus. Students and staff worked tirelessly to complete the project. On a smaller but no less important scale, the Environmental Club’s Andrea Klauss managed a different  initiative. With the end of the tree-planting season comes spring, flowers, and bees. Bees are an important but increasingly endangered part of global ecosystems, and the club turned their focus to these small but vital insects. Throughout March and April, Andrea ran crafting sessions to make bee pins. Members of the club then sold pins around the school, at networking events, and on the streets of London. The aim? To raise money for a flower garden at Hult. The club has more planned, but I think we can all agree they’ve done amazing work so far. Not only are they exercising leadership and team skills, but they’re working together to have a positive impact that will last long after they leave Hult. I hope future generations of students can carry on these worthwhile projects! Dani has come from the tech world to get her MBA from Hult’s London campus.

Justification of Creon in Antigone by Sophocles Essay

Justification of Creon in Antigone by Sophocles Antigone is a tragic play written by Sophocles in about 441b.c. The play is a continuation of the curse put upon the household of Oedipus Rex. Sophocles actually wrote this play before he wrote Oedipus, but it follows Oedipus in chronological order. The story of Antigone begins after the departure of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, into self-exile. Oedipus’ two sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, were left to rule over Thebes. An argument over rights to power forces Polynices to leave Thebes. Some time passes and Polynices returns with the army from Argos and attempts to overthrow his brother. The two brothers fight and kill one another and the war ends. Creon, the uncle of the two†¦show more content†¦Through looking at the history of the era, the intentions of the playwright, and the critical analysis and commentary offered on the play, it is in my opinion that Sophocles intended Creon to be the character who was in the right, not Antigone. The start of theater and drama in Ancient Greece took form in about 5th century b.c, with Sophocles being considered the master of tragedy. In his plays and those of the same genre, classic fables that the people of the era knew well were used to tell the stories. The tragic hero’s of these stories often strive to live honorable and righteous lives, but because of some mistake their lives would often great and noble death. The idea that serving the state was proper way to gain honor was a popular belief during this time period. This philosophy was echoed by Plato in his book, the Republic. Plato dealt with establishing the ideal state. The way to achieve the ideal state was through striving for justice. Justice, according to Plato, is doing only the tasks assigned to them by nature. This is the fundamental notion for his creation of an ideal city. It is both knowing what true justice is and where one belongs in the city that the ideal can be achieved. Justice in a city can be found in an individual as well outside the individual because it is a concept that is universal.

Sophocles explores the depths of Antigone’s morality and the duty based on consequence throughout the play, as well as the practical consequences of Creon who is passionate and close-minded. Although Antigone’s moral decisions appear to be more logical and favorable than Creon’s, a personal argument would be that both characters’Read MoreThe Notions of Justice in The Republic and Antigone1707 Words   |  7 Pagesphilosophical literature, notions of justice are presented plainly. Plato’s The Republic and Sophocles’ Antigone both address elements of death, tyranny and immorality, morality, and societal roles.

The Study of Stone in Archaeology or Lithics

Definition: Archaeologists use the (slightly ungrammatical) term lithics to refer to artifacts made of stone. Since organic materials such as bone and textiles are rarely preserved, the most common type of artifact found on a prehistoric archaeological site is worked stone, whether as prepared tools such as a handaxe, adze or projectile point, hammerstone, or the tiny flakes of stone called debitage, which resulted from the construction of those tools. Lithic analysis is the study of those objects, and can entail things like determining where the stone was quarried (called sourcing), when the stone was worked (such as obsidian hydration), what kind of technology was used to make the stone tool (flint knapping and heat-treatment), and what evidence there is of the tools use usewear or residue studies).

Self-Reliance By Charles W. Eliot - 1201 Words

Introduction The efficient man is the man who thinks for himself this is a quote about self reliance by Charles W. Eliot, he was an American academic who was selected as Harvard s president in 1869 and also attended Harvard. In this essay, I will describe what self-reliance is to me, state my opinion on why being self reliant is necessary and how it can help people in there lives, and I will be creating a plan on how I personally can be more self-reliant based on books I ve read or knowledge I have already about being self-reliant also by living with people who are and knowing close friends who are self-reliant as well. Also in this essay I will make a plan for myself based off my strengths and weaknesses on how to be more†¦show more content†¦I think that being self-reliant means that you make your own decisions, you don t let people change you from who you are and finally, you always act the same as you would when your by yourself. Being self-reliant to me means simply tha t you do you. Why Being Self-Reliant is Necessary Steve Jobs was fired from apple for his temper, his over scheduled meetings, and complaints from other co-workers. This is why being self reliant is necessary, about 5 years later Jobs founded the NeXT Computer using $7 million. A year after that Jobs bought Pixar from Lucas Film’s computer graphics division for the price of $10 million. Later that year Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $427 million! Apple then welcomed Steve Jobs back to the company because they liked the computer he made so much and thought he would be a good asset to have working with them again. Almost a decade later Steve Jobs admitted that â€Å"Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that happened to me.†. Without self-reliance Jobs would have never made his own company and brought it from the ground up and made it back into apple as â€Å"Chairman of the Board†. To conclude, Steve Jobs got fired and he turned to being self-reliant and did something he wouldn t have done had he not been fired from Apple. Steve Jobs got fired from Apple then he became self reliant, created a computer the way he wanted to, then got welcomed back to Apple after they liked his computer soShow MoreRelatedEssay on Benjamin Franklins Autobiography1429 Words   |  6 PagesON BEN FRANKLIN’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography is an inspiring tale of his personal, as well as public achievement throughout his life.

Taking a Look at Hydro-Fracturing - 996 Words

Introduction Anyone who has followed the news in the past few years has seen or heard something about hydro-fracturing or fracking for short. Even though fracking isnt a new technology, recent innovations and techniques have made this process much more cost effective giving gas and oil companies more incentive to implement it on a greater scale. The increased use of fracking to increase production in the oil and gas industries has brought this technology into the news and made it one of the most fiercely debated topics in recent times. Pro-fracking supporters claim that shale gas and the fracking process will be the savior of our nation and provide foreign energy independence for many years to come. The anti-fracking community raises concerns about the environment that will affect not only this generation but also generations to come.
