Power in a Pandemic with Moisés Naím

As society faces complex change, it's no surprise that business schools are a microcosm of the broader debates within the corporate world. More schools these days are attempting to tackle the questions of whether and how businesses should help lead the way on environmental, social, and governance challenges of the day.

Host Paul Laudicina welcomes Dr. Sanjay Sharma, Dean of the University of Vermont’s Grossman School of Business, and Alyssa Stankiewicz, recent MBA graduate and Morningstar sustainable fund analyst, to discuss the future of business education. They explore the role of sustainability in mainstream business education, discuss how business school has changed over recent years, and look toward the future for aspiring business school graduates and new demands on leadership.
