The Aspen Institute Business & Society Program has announced the winners of the 2017 Ideas Worth Teaching Award, an annual prize that recognizes teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels that is redefining excellence in business education.

Among the 20 winning courses is Professor Dror Etzion鈥檚 Sustainability & Environmental Accounting class, which incorporates existing multidisciplinary knowledge in corporate sustainability accounting to respond to the growing need among organizations to develop and implement management systems for social responsibility.

Through a combination of lectures and experiential learning, students are encouraged to think critically about corporate cases that pertain to sustainability, and have an opportunity to analyze and interpret data, such as 麻豆AV鈥檚 Greenhouse Gas emissions.

For the Fall 2017 semester, the class benefitted from the co-teaching of Rozhin Yousefvand-Mansouri, PhD Candidate at the Desautels Faculty of Management.

The Ideas Worth Teaching Award winners will be recognized at Working Towards Shared Prosperity: An Academic-Executive Dialogue in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Oct. 26-27, 2018.
