Advisory Committee
In addition to our faculty advisor, Sarah Anderson, this project relies on three additional advisors to provide expertise, guidance and support.
Gary Libecap
Professor - Corporate Environmental Management
Gary Libecap came to the Bren School in 2006 after more than twenty years at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where, in addition to teaching business, law, and econ-omics, often in a natural resource context, he developed and directed the top-ranked entrepreneurship program in the nation. His interdisciplinary focus and expertise in issues related to entrepreneurship and sustainable business practices led to his critical role in developing the Eco-Entrepreneurship Program, a joint venture between the Bren School and the School of Engineering. Professor Libecap’s current research is focused on the legal, economic, and policy aspects of water allocation in the western United States. He has been president of the Economic History Association, the Western Economics Association International, and the International Society for the New Institutional Economics, and he holds high-level appointments and fellowships at several top institutions around the country.
