Portfolio Presentation Workshop

The Portfolio Presentation Workshop
is a culminating course that enables students to synthesize and showcase what they have learned throughout the Executive MPA program. Students develop and present an individual project focused on improving an organization, launching a new initiative, or conducting a case study of a significant policy or management issue. Each student draws upon prior coursework, professional experience, and new research to produce a final written report and two structured presentations.

The course emphasizes reflective practice, peer feedback, and real-world application. Students are required to submit a project proposal, assess prior work products, and present findings to their instructor and classmates. Final deliverables demonstrate the student’s ability to apply strategic, analytical, and leadership tools in a way that advances organizational goals and prepares them for future professional growth.

BIOGEOSCIENCE SEMINAR

GEOENGINEERING

The course will focus on reading and discussing recent papers from the primary literature. Students will gain exposure to the primary literature, gain skills in evaluating published research, and acquire presentation experience.  In spring 2026, we will explore modern topics in geoengineering, including carbon capture and storage (CCS) and solar radiation management (SRM). For CCS, strategies to capture CO2 and store it in geologic reservoirs, in the terrestrial biosphere, and in the oceans will be covered. For SRM, recent global modeling studies will be discussed. Some course meetings will include guest lectures from members of the LDEO community and from outside experts.
