Dan Schnitzer is the Director of Sustainability and Operations for the Academy for Global Citizenship (AGC); a Chicago Public School focused on environmental sustainability and global education. Believing that nature is the ultimate learning lab, Dan has worked with AGC to ensure that its operational functions are intimately tied to environmental and academic goals. As a former summer camp director, Dan has seen the transformative effects that exposure to nature has on students and their ability to understand and positively impact the world. Dan is particularly interested in food (growing and eating it) and spent significant portions of his graduate studies focused on food systems, growing methods and agricultural waste. Dan believes that the most important lessons in life can be learned by planting a garden.
Dan�s travels have taken him to the summits of Mt. Fuji and Mauna Loa and the depths of the Dead Sea. Dan hopes to instill the desire to see the world within all of AGC�s students. Dan has a degree in International Business and a master�s degree in Environmental Management and Sustainability. He lives in Chicago with his wife Alex and their dog, Oban.
