Workshop: Implementing Societal Impact into the Business School Curriculum

Join us on June 11, 2025, at Cornell Tech in New York City for a highly interactive, hands-on workshop designed to help business school leaders and educators infuse societal impact into their curricula. Throughout the day, participants will explore real-world examples and emerging best practices for embedding sustainability, ESG principles, and human rights into core courses and specialized modules. Facilitated discussions and collaborative exercises will guide attendees in developing their own course segments, with ample opportunities for peer feedback and action planning. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with concrete tools, detailed plans, and a supportive network to champion meaningful change in their institutions.
This workshop will take place during the Responsible Management Education (RME) Week. The objective of RME Week is to advance responsible management education and its impact worldwide through convening and knowledge exchange.
