Virginia Tech Executive Master of Natural Resources (XMNR) program 2021 alum Ammar Khan reflects on his education journey. The XMNR is an accelerated (1 year) graduate degree program that combines the best of online and in-person education in an innovative hybrid and cohort-based curriculum focused on systems learning, leadership, and change. The XMNR is a transformative learning and leadership development experience that educates, inspires, and empowers professionals to address current and emerging challenges in sustainable development, environmental justice, climate resilience, and related topics. XMNR students learn to make sense of complex environmental and sustainability systems, apply advanced leadership strategies and practices, engage diverse stakeholders in real-world case projects, and improve their overall professional performance to advance their careers. XMNR students typically have demanding full-time jobs, which is why our curriculum is designed to help them improve their performance at work, advance their careers, and have greater impact in the world. Executive-style graduate programs are for anyone who is interested in experiential and peer-to-peer learning focusing on professional and leadership development as related to sustainability systems. The program is taught as a hybrid of in-person/virtual meetings* and online individual and small-group work. Students gather in person 5 times a year for three-day experiential learning weekends and 6 times virtually for two-day meetings. Meeting with your cohort virtually or in the Washington, D.C. metro area, you’ll strengthen your network with access to Virginia Tech’s faculty and world-renowned sustainability experts, as well as peers from across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries. You’ll also network with global partners during your Global Study, and apply lessons learned to real-world sustainability projects. Learn more at https://cligs.vt.edu

Fade away this institution Fade away our contributions Fade away the story of our lives You can’t restore what you erase Just another bullet Cash out stocks will be falling You can put the past away Just another fizzy memory Bloodshot eyes shut for eternity The story of our lives is the reason not to try Chorus Bridge: I would die for you I will remember you I will savor you I would lie even though you say it’s true Chorus Song written and produced by Sean McCole Mixed by Mitch Dane at Sputnik Sound Video produced by Visionary Coalition About Sean McCole: Sean McCole is a Chicago native whose musical inspiration began at the age of six, when he stole his parent's "Tommy James & The Shondells" cassette. That was when his Fischer Price Recorder ate the tape, but as the toy burst into flames, a voice from beyond told McCole that he was destined for rock greatness. His parents, convinced they birthed a rock and roll demon, bought him his first guitar. Soon he began composing renditions of pop hits he heard on the radio, replacing the lyrics of Bowie, the Beatles, the White Stripes, and Elton John with words of his own lyrical perspectives. That ultimately culminated in both his ejection from his first grade talent show and a permanent ban from all houses of worship on the north side of Chicago. At 10, Sean discovered his true passion: hitting things really hard with sticks. He pounded his drums along to Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden and Nirvana finding kindred spirits within the violent rhythms. 10 years later, he was kicked out of The University of Denver for hooking a PA to the roof of his dorm and playing Dark Side of the Moon on repeat for thirty-six consecutive hours. He returned home, re-enrolled in college and began interning at music studios in exchange for sandwiches and cups of coffee that he could pour his midday whiskey into. This is the result. #seanmccole​ #fadeaway​ #chicago​
