Thea Junt, MBA’16, environmental sustainability consultant for Southwest Airlines, joins host Lisa Shatz for a discussion about the company’s Nonstop to Net Zero initiative. They discuss how the SWA is meeting its strategic goals toward reducing its environmental impact and achieving sustainability, not only in its use of aviation fuel but also in its community outreach. They also go over ways students can incorporate sustainability into their education, no matter their major, and how workers can contribute to their companies’ efforts.
Junt also explains how she creates a meaningful work-life balance by taking home her passion for sustainability with gardening and planting habitats in which caterpillars can thrive to become butterflies.
Shatz is assistant dean for MBA Programs at the Jindal School.
In this episode, host Lisa Shatz welcomes Jeff Price, an associate professor, game development and virtual reality at the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology at The University of Texas at Dallas. They compare and contrast the various technologies related to enabling digitally immersive, enhanced online environments — metaverses — and their implications for industry, education and entertainment.
