They engaged in conversations about Estes' projects, generated interest in sustainability work across the industry, and strengthened ties with VCU’s SCMA and School of Business, with whom they collaborate on intern programs and initiatives like RVA Circular Economy and the Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions Club.
