Nichole Wissman-Weber is an Assistant Professor of Management at the University of San Diego School of Business, where she studies processes of climate adaptation and teaches strategy. Nichole’s commitment to environmental issues was cultivated while growing up in the Yakima Valley of Washington State, where the juxtaposition of community and the wilderness of the Cascade Mountains made the interconnection between environmental issues and justice hard to ignore.
In Nichole’s practice-based endeavors, she has organized and facilitated multi-stakeholder events, consulted on sustainability projects, worked in applied policy and research, and volunteered as a certified conflict mediator and in international ecological restoration programs.
Currently, Nichole’s attention is on climate adaptation. H can we integrate regenerative practices into current business models? Along with her research, she is developing two projects (1) Ark 2.0 a platform to amplify community-based sustainability efforts and (2) the Environmental Integration Lab at the University of San Diego to engage students and faculty in interdisciplinary solutions to environmental problems.
