Dominican University Offering 'Green' MBA
(CBS 5 / KCBS-KPIX)
SAN RAFAEL Students working towards a “Green MBA” at San
Rafael’s Dominican University are getting quite a different take on
business from the usual view.
Program
Director John Stayton said the Green MBA was created for a specific
kind of individual. "The Green MBA is a program for individuals who
understand that we're headed toward an ecological and social crisis.
-Who want their careers and lives to be dedicated to helping humanity
move toward ecological sustainability and restoration and social
equity, and who recognize that business is an incredibly powerful and
creative force that's been part of the problem and has to play a major
role in creating solutions," he explained.
Stayton said
corporate America is moving in a more ecologically friendly direction,
as people become more aware of the problems.
"Not only do
companies need to be moving towards incorporating social and
environmental issues in their business plans, but it's also a source of
opportunity. We have a lot of ecological problems to be solving," he
said.

Internet search is going green.
At least two local companies are jumping into the vertical search market to help consumer find websites and businesses that fit their environmental and social values.
"It has big implications for those in the mainstream who don't know the right adjective to find what they're looking for", said Joey Shepp, founder of Green Maven, based in Fairfax. "They know they want something better for the environment...but they might not know the right questions to ask."

Joey Shepp, Green MBA graduate 2005, founder of Earthsite.net and GreenMaven.com was featured in the cover story of the August issue of Sustainable Industries Journal
Here is a quote from the article:
"Shepp founded Earthsite.net in 2003 to provide marketing, branding, consulting and incubation for environment-focused Web sites. GreenMaven is an
Earthsite.net
success story, and after several years in the "green" Web business,
Shepp says he has seen a sudden, marked increase in interest over the
past year. Competition for advertising linked to search keywords such
as "Green MBA" has multiplied by a factor of 10 to 20, Shepp says."

Rising Suns: Graduating green: Progressive MBA program makes sustainability the bottom line |

Quote from Article:
Joey Shepp of Fairfax, a graduate of the program, offers a ringing endorsement.
"I was part of the third graduating class, so I had a huge opportunity
to help shape the program," says Shepp. "It was amazing—small classes,
great faculty and really self-directed."
Shepp has parlayed his educational experience into a career with a Web
strategies firm called Earthsite (www.earthsite.net ) that helps green
businesses build and maintain an online presence. He's also founder of
Green Maven (www.greenmaven.com ), which he describes as "the green
Google." It's a search engine that highlights environmentally conscious
Web sites—helping enviro types find everything from fair-trade coffee
to organic socks.
Asked if green business is a growth industry, Shepp answers without
hesitation. "What we're seeing is a new, modern environmentalism that's
pro-business and pro-profit," he says. "Environmental problems can be
seen as business opportunities, and I think more and more companies are
realizing that to maybe sacrifice a little now is to grow for the
future. This is a bright green market—one that's looking seven
generations into the future."
Shepp is, of course, just one example of the many students who have
used the Green MBA as a springboard. Stayton says graduates generally
find jobs in three key areas: entrepreneurship, sustainability
consulting and what he calls "intrapreneurship," working within
established corporations to effect change from the inside out.

An excerpt from "GREEN SEARCH ENGINE MAKES TIME.COM's TOP 10 LIST OF NEW WEBSITES":
"People want to go green, but they often don't know where to start or
even what questions to ask," says Joey Shepp, founder of Green Maven.
"Green Maven makes searching for all things green as easy as using
Google. If you search for socks, you get organic socks. If you search
for cars, you get hybrid cars. Our mission is to make it easy for

January 8th, 2006
An excerpt ftom "M.B.A.'s With Three Bottom Lines: People, Planet and Profit," by Abby Ellin:
"...Joey Shepp, a graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz,
received a master's from New College last spring. He chose New College
for its smaller classes and ''an education that was more on the cutting
edge,'' he says. ''None of the bigger schools had incorporated that
level of sustainability in their curriculum.'' A self-described
visionary artist, entrepreneur, technologist and, yes, tree hugger, he
is now Internet marketing director of Green Festival, which organizes
marketplaces for eco-friendly entrepreneurs, and helped found a company
that designs Web sites for sustainable businesses and another that
grades corporations for their social responsibility..."

Excerpt from "Green" Means "Black", by Natasha Dalton",
May 2006
"...Another example of this new type of a successful private enterprise is that of Joey Shepp. He is the founder of Earthsite.net — a company building a global network of sustainable businesses. He is also a co-founder of AloNovo.com, a “responsible shopping portal with a mission of empowering consumers to create change.” Joey has consulted many major players in the sustainable economy, including Global Exchange and Fantastic Foods.
“The old way of doing business is going extinct,” he says. “Polluting, cheating, and short-term thinking are not providing the financial returns they used to. There is a new buzz in the business world and it is sustainability. Companies like Clif Bar, Organic Valley, GE, Toyota, HP, and BP are changing the game by investing in sustainable business. When I talk about sustainable business, I mean sustainable profits—and did I mention that environmental and social values are the way to get there? I got a Green MBA to have a competitive advantage in today’s new economy...”
