S3 EP4 - Mick Dalrymple on Green Pioneering, Biomimicry, and Building a Sustainable USC

On this episode of Civic Encounter, host Georgia Lewis and JCI President, Seth Jacobson, speak with Mick Dalrymple, the University of Southern California’s first-ever Chief Sustainability Officer [https://today.usc.edu/usc-first-chief-sustainability-officer-mick-dalrymple/] — a LEED Fellow, filmmaker, and sustainability pioneer whose career spans nearly four decades across green building, higher education, policy, and entrepreneurship. Mick traces the winding path that brought him here: from co-creating Arizona's first green building education center and growing ASU's sustainability programs to international projects in Albania and Guatemala, all while proving that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in the climate advocate's toolkit. Now leading sustainability strategy at one of California's most prominent and publicly influential universities, Mick opens up about what it meant to originate the CSO role at USC, the push toward climate neutrality, and how the LA Green New Deal and renewable energy economics are reshaping what's possible — even amid federal rollbacks. He also reflects on earning the LEED Fellow designation, the promise of biophilia and biomimicry, and what gives him hope. His message for the next generation? Master the solutions, get your hands in the ground, and remember — individuals do make a difference.
