ME
senior named Bayer Young Environmental Envoy 2005
Management
Engineering senior Alita Criselle Bautista proved once again that students
from the John Gokongwei School of Management are at par with the others
from universities abroad by being named as one of the Bayer
Young Environmental Envoys (BYEE) for 2005. Along with four
distinguished students in the country, she will be joining other envoys
from twelve (12) other countries, namely Thailand, India, Singapore,
China, Indonesia, Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and
Poland in a weeklong all expense educational field trip to Germany from
November 12 - 18, 2005.
The envoys were chosen based on their presentations related to the UN Millenium Development goals, which they expounded on before a distinguished panel of judges from the media, government, the United Nations, youth and non-governmental organizations.
Bautista would like to address the youth's lack of awareness and consciousness on sustainable development because the future of the coming generations is at stake. She believes LGUs and national agencies should undertake joint efforts with other sectors to provide incentives for business to go green, or for business and industry to do alternative advertising. Her expertise is operations management. She believes research on green (Eco-Labels) labels from other countries will contribute to the solution of the problem.
Congratulations!
