Faculty Voices

What our partners say.

Hear from faculty who've designed and delivered programs with us.

Knomadic has been an invaluable academic partner in bringing our curriculum to life in the field. The team gives students direct access to sustainability-focused organizations, from a mezcal producer to a rainwater-harvesting NGO addressing water scarcity, as well as local experts, including a journalist who grounds the experience in Mexico’s social, political, and environmental realities. These experiences allow students to explore water sustainability, community development, and systems leadership alongside the people actively doing the work. The logistics team is also highly responsive, deeply attentive to our learning goals, and consistently delivers a seamless, well-organized program.

David Robertson, Ph.D.

Program Director, Executive Master of Natural Resources · Virginia Tech

From the first call, Knomadic was an active partner in developing a customized program around our specific learning objectives. The Knomadic team built a program from the ground up. They were extremely diligent in locating and vetting partners and engagements in Italy, including experts from Salviamo l’Orso and WWF Italia, a park ranger tracking wolves in Abruzzo, and a volcanologist on Mt. Etna. We required local guides who are content matter experts as well as managers, and the team didn’t rest until we engaged a National Geographic-certified guide to lead the program on the ground. This dynamic range brought complex themes like rewilding, climate adaptation, sustainable fisheries, and regenerative agriculture out of the textbook and to life in the field. Our learners described the experience as transformational, thriving on a hands-on approach that proved rigorous learning can also be deeply engaging and genuinely fun. Throughout the entire process, the Knomadic team remained flexible, supportive, and perfectly aligned with our academic goals.
