Unity Environmental University, a private liberal arts institution in Maine, has launched the Couri Graduate School of Business. The new graduate school will offer a business education focused on sustainability and climate risk. The launch is supported by a $750,000 endowment, $500,000 of which came from philanthropist Elaine and John Couri, along with contributions from their family and friends. The endowment will fund students from around the country who will travel to Maine to attend a week-long, in-person immersion session at Unity’s 150-acre Moose River campus in Somerset County. Enrollment will begin in March, offering an MBA in climate-ready business and a master’s in sustainable finance.
