Canadian faculty on ONE-L are a large enough segment of our virtual
community to make occasional use of the list to target just them okay. Of
course, events that welcome all-comers are preferred.
Collegially,

Subject: Integrating Sustainability into Business Education: A Workshop for
Business Faculty
Hello Charles,
My name is Aabir Dey and I am a Research Assistant at Wilfrid Laurier
University's CMA Centre for Business and Sustainability. We are currently
organizing a dialogue-focused workshop for Canadian business faculty on May
4th on how to best integrating sustainability issues in management
education.
We are looking for different ways to spread the word about this workshop to
interested faculty members, and generate a meaningful dialogue based on the
issues we are discussing at the event - we were hoping to use the ONE-L
LISTSERV as one of our promotional venue.
Please let me know if this is an event that we would be allowed to post on
the LISTSERV - the workshop details and message are written below.
Thanks kindly,
Aabir

Integrating Sustainability into Business Education:
A Workshop for Canadian Business Faculty
Where: University of Guelph Arboretum Auditorium
When: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 9:30am - 4:30pm
Global sustainability issues - energy, climate, water, food, justice,
population, poverty - will form the relevant context for organizational
leaders in the 21st century. The ability of business leaders to cope with
these challenges and to leverage the opportunities in a shifting landscape
will be directly affected by the quality of management education in Canada.
Is the curriculum at your school progressing in time to lead constructively
on issues of business and sustainability?
Join Dr. Barry Colbert, Director of Wilfrid Laurier University's CMA Centre
for Business and Sustainability, and Dr. Elizabeth Kurucz, Assistant
Professor, Department of Business, University of Guelph, as they host a free
one-day educational workshop for faculty members in Canadian business
schools interested in incorporating sustainability tenets into their
teaching materials.
The workshop will draw on perspectives from sustainability educators,
students, industry, government, and civil society and will encourage
structured dialogues between faculty members on a variety of topics. Engage
with other faculty members across Canada to learn about the best practices
of leading business schools, and to discuss the challenges and opportunities
that pertain to sustainability- focused business education.
In partnership with the Network for Business and Sustainability, we have
asked the Dialogue Leaders of our workshop to share their thoughts on what
Canadian business schools should emphasize in order to help the next
generation of organizational leaders address global sustainability issues.
Visit
www.nbs.net/news.aspx to read what our Dialogue Leaders have to say,
and please send your thoughts (500 words or less) to Anthea Rowe
(
arowe@nbs.net) at the Network for Business and Sustainability, to
contribute to the workshop dialogue.
We encourage you to continue this discussion on this LISTSERV, and pass this
information to any faculty members who may be interested in sharing their
thoughts and attending the workshop.
Registration is free - full meals, snacks, and beverages will be provided
(spaces are limited). Please register for the workshop at
www.wlu.ca/sbe/cmacro before Wednesday, April 28th, 2010.
Thank you for your support and looking forward to your participation!
