Join the conversation online!

Nominate a colleague (or yourself) for the 2015 Faculty Pioneer Awards! We will be accepting nominations online until June 15, 2015. 

This year, we are seeking nominations of faculty who are teaching (at the graduate level) about business practices that contribute to an economy that works for all. Our focus is motivated by public concern about inequality; our ambition is to spark conversation in business schools about the opportunities to tie curriculum to this critical issue. 

A highlight of the themes we will consider: 

• Employment practices, responsible sourcing and/or supply chain operations that help workers thrive
• Environmental policies or ownership structures and business models that contribute to shared prosperity
• Incentives and compensation guidelines for workers and executives

The themes are outlined in detail in the call for nominations. There, you will also find a link to our nomination form. 

The nomination form requirements: 

1. 500-word "summary of accomplishments" 
2. Nominee's CV (or URL to faculty profile)
3. MBA-level course syllabus that demonstrates how the nominee teaches about business practices that contribute to an economy that works for all
4. Letter of recommendation
5. Contact information
