Thank you very much Susan for taking the time to set this blog up. I am sure it will go a long way in increasing dialogue and best practices sharing between those working to promote and implement the PRMEs.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Diane Rai and I work with Partners in Change, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to corporate social responsibility. We have just initiated a program focused on promoting responsible management education among the top business schools here in India with the objective of seeing mandatory CSR courses become part of the standard management education courses. This is the first such initiative taken in India and we are very confident that response to it will be positive.
If any of you are interested in becoming involved in this initiative, either through advice, suggestions or any other form of support, I would be very happy to get into further contact with you.
Best regards and looking forward to reading about your experiences in setting up and implementing the PRMEs!

Thank you Susan for this excellent initiative. I hope a lot of us will follow. My name is Anne Barraquier, I'm an associate professor at Ceram Business School in France. Our school orientation is on the knowledge economy, and when becoming a member of PRME we decided to include a sustainable and responsible dimension to all actions we take. for example, we organized a conference with academics and professional on the topic " how compatible is the knowledge economy with a sustainable development strategy?". We include a mandatory course on ethics and sustainability in the undergrad programme, and we have an advanced post graduate programme in sustainability management since 2003. This year we have decided to start thinking of how to include these issues in all major courses. Looking forward to hear from others!!
Thanks for starting this off. I noticed a number of people in the mass email have already asked to be removed from the list because their mailboxes were overwhelmed.
At NYU Stern School of Business we have incorporated Social Responsibility in our core undergrad program. After the conference Prof. Wolff and I decided we would take the challenge of trying to get our graduate school more on board beyond the ethics course. Our first step is small: wine and cheese with the Management dept. next week. Interestingly, the doctorate students seemed enthused.
So, if any of you have suggestions for what points to highlight in our early conversations I'd love to hear them. I think the students are ready and some faculty....how about the Finance and Admin folks...how do we win them over?
Hello, everyone. I'm Ben Teehankee from De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines.
Susan: This is a great service to the PRME community and more power to you in pushing the SR frontier in your school.
I find that our situation at my school is the reverse of Stern's. The MBA is 10 years ahead of the undergraduate programs. The MBA program has a required ethics course and a separate social responsibility/sustainability course with service learning incorporated.
I think I will look for a way to do a PRME orientation for the undergraduate departments based on your wine and cheese idea.
Regarding conversation points, it might be useful to pose reflection questions such as: 1. In what ways are the management models we are teaching preparing our students for the challenges of the economy? 2. Is there room for more discussions on social responsibility and sustainability in our courses? What do we need to do this and how can we support each other?
I'm thinking of starting a dialogue with my colleagues in economics and finance as well and I'd like to get tips from all of you.

This is a great resource for a more permanent and flexible online forum compared to emails. Is there a way to set up threads?That way, we could group together posts from people who want to focus on new teaching techniques separately from people who want advice on how to introduce PRME at their institutions?

Susan, thanks for establishing this blog. It is encouraging to see the initiative and interest following the Global PRME meeting last week in New York. The issues that were raised at the meeting are so critical to the future of global business education and the creation of socially responsible leaders as we face the long road of recovery from this on-going crisis. My name is Kate Randolph and I am the Director of International Programs at Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration. I know that some of the issues raised a week ago in NY will certainly be on the agenda of our upcoming faculty retreat. I look forward to the continuing dialogue and shared experiences on integrating corporate social responsibility into business education.
