As you know, in September 2020 Telfer became a signatory to the United Nations’ PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education). To gain a deeper understanding of all the possibilities that this opens for research collaborations, pedagogical innovations, and institutional growth, we have invited two special guests to share their insights and experiences with the PMRE with us. On January 29th, grab your lunch, and join us in welcoming Alfred Rosenbloom, from the Brennan School of Business, Dominican University, and Basma Majerbi, from the Gustavson School of Business, University of Victoria. Al has been with the PRME since the beginning of the initiative and helps lead the global UN PRME Poverty Working Group. He will share with us the many different opportunities for curriculum and professional development, research and networking embedded in the PRME principles and SDG goals while Basma will provide very concrete examples of how they’ve integrated the PRME and SDGs in the research, teaching and operations at Gustavson. We hope that this will be an opportunity for all to learn more about the PMRE, engage in an active Q&A with our speakers and understand the many ways the principles can be leveraged at Telfer. Most importantly, we hope to be inspired!
