In January, a group of MBA students traveled to San Jose for NYU Stern’s “Doing Business in… Costa Rica” course. Students attended classes at INCAE Business School to learn more about the Costa Rican economy, sustainable development and responsible labor practices. The group also visited the Coopedota Coffee Farm and Roasting Plant and participated in a company visit with Processim Labs.

“Everyone knows that sustainable business is better for the environment, community, and really for the greater good,” remarked MBA student Dan Heinrich. “That being said, to be in a place like Costa Rica and embrace the activities of a country that embodies sustainability is an amazing experience.  Regardless of where my future takes me, the values behind sustainability will be with me moving forward more than anything else.”
