My name is Evan Roberts, and I am a UVic MBA student. I am currently working on a CEI internship in Ottawa for The Natural Step Canada, a sustainability NGO. After the internship, I have one semester remaining (an exchange at City University of Hong Kong) to finish my degree.

The Natural Step Canada is a non-profit organization providing results orientated advisory and training services to help community and business leaders integrate social, environmental and economic decision making into their operations with a holistic, proven and scientifically-rigorous
framework.(www.naturalstep.ca)

This summer, I will be developing a business plan for the launch of a community of practice/ peer-to-peer education network. The purpose of the network is to facilitate networking and knowledge exchange/development between users of the TNS framework, thereby reducing the direct workload for my dedicated but overworked colleagues.

I hope all of you have equally interesting projects for the summer!
