Brady Davis: MBS senior conducts sustainability research through Mitchell Center, Honors College

Brady Davis, a University of Maine senior in the Maine Business School and Honors College, was awarded a Mitchell Scholarship upon graduating from Freeport High School in 2013.

At UMaine, Davis became involved with the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions by way of the Honors College’s Sustainable Food Systems Research Collaborative project, which was funded by the center.

“Sen. George J. Mitchell has been behind the scenes at some of the major turning points of my academic career,” Davis says.

In fall 2016, the center honored Davis with an Outstanding Contribution to Sustainability Research by an Undergraduate Student award for his work on artisanal cheesemaking in Maine.

“I’m so grateful I’ve had the Honors College and the Mitchell Center to show me how I might blend my interest in sustainability with my business education,” Davis says. “I may have an opportunity to put all that into practice as a business student because I’ve been exposed to the facilitation skills required to help people be at a table with different perspectives and bring consensus to move forward with a common purpose and take action.”

The full profile on Davis and his research is available on the Mitchell Center’s website.
