Welcome to the 10th annual Business and Society Conference at Tuck!
First things first: many, many thanks to our fearless co-chairs Rosanne Palatucci and Brian Meyers – none of this would have been possible without them!
A key focus of Dean Danos’s welcoming address was the tradeoffs businesses are facing given the global economic crisis. Although he optimistically sees crises as drivers of important change in industry, he recognizes that the tradeoffs that business are facing in light of the global economic crisis are real. Now more than ever, however, businesses have a duty to take this opportunity to grow and build and incorporate social and environmental considerations into their core activities. He closed by noting that a great business school has to be responsive to great movements in business: CSR and sustainability will become just as important a topic as other sources of change – such as the information technological revolution and globalization. I hope you’re all as excited as I am to be a part of this movement at Tuck, and to bring lasting change into your future careers!
