Dear Friends,

The Center for Business Education at the Aspen Institute is pleased to once again call for nominations for the 2008 Faculty Pioneer Awards (referred to as the "Oscars of the business school world" by the Financial Times) as well as for the 2008 Dissertation Proposal Awards.

Faculty Pioneer Awards celebrate educators who have demonstrated leadership and risk-taking in integrating social and environmental issues into academic research, educational programs and business practice.  Nominations are open to all faculty members at any institution worldwide offering a graduate management degree.

Please visit http://aspencbe.org/awards/pioneers/2008Nomination.html for more information and to access the nomination form for round 1 of the process, which is due, electronically, by <st1:date month="3" day="14" year="2008">Friday, March 14, 2008</st1:date>.  Nominators of finalist candidates will be asked to complete a more comprehensive letter of recommendation in the spring.

This year's Faculty Pioneers will receive a cash prize, recognition at an awards breakfast in <st1:city><st1:place>New York City</st1:place></st1:city>, along with significant corporate and media recognition.  Winners will be announced in the fall of 2008.

The Center for Business Education at the Aspen Institute is also pleased to announce the sponsorship of its annual award for promising dissertation research.  The purpose of this award is to identify innovative research in core business disciplines that considers the interdependence between business decision-making and a wider societal or environmental context . The recipient(s) will receive a cash stipend and will be recognized at an awards breakfast in <st1:city><st1:place>New York City</st1:place></st1:city> in the fall of 2008.

Encouraging and supporting business school faculty is central to the success of many of The Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education initiatives. In hopes of nurturing relationships with the next generation of faculty concerned with issues of environmental, ethical, and social importance, we introduced the Dissertation Proposal Award in 2007 to encourage and recognize students showing interest in these issues while in their Ph.D. programs.

Eligibility and other information may be found by visiting: http://aspencbe.org/awards/dissertation/2008ApplicationProcess.html.  The deadline for application submission is <st1:date month="3" day="28" year="2008">Friday, March 28th, 2008</st1:date>. 

Thanks so much,
