    On behalf of the Social Issues in Management (SIM) Curriculum Development Committee, we invite you to our inaugural SIMply Teaching Conversation Hour.
     
    Three distinguished panelists will share insights from teaching, coaching, and research to explore how SIM topics can be approached with sensitivity, inclusivity, and care in the classroom.
     
    In this session, featuring Tara Ceranic Salinas, Sharda Nandram, and Danaë Huijser, we focus on:
    1. Navigating Conflict,
    2. AI and Human Dignity, and
    3. Student Well-being.
