Design & Management Program

D&M Alumnus, Natalya Sverjensky is Futerra Sustainability Communications newest Strategy Consultant. Read on to find out, in Natalya's own words, why the Design and Management program at Parsons has prepared her for success at the threshold of corporate communications and social responsibility.
