Nicole Darnall is a distinguished scholar in sustainability who was recently appointed as the Arlene R. and Robert P. Kogod Eminent Scholar Chair in Sustainability at American University. Previously, she served as a Foundation Professor and Associate Dean at Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability. Darnall was also the director of ASU’s Sustainable Purchasing Research Initiative, contributing significantly to global knowledge on sustainable procurement.
