Meet the Class of ’22
The Zicklin Marketing & Communications team is working on a new series of interviews for our #WhyZicklin integrated marketing campaign. From our conversations with six MBA and MS students in the Class of ’22, here’s what they shared about their experiences.
October Webinar: Business and Society: The Challenges Facing Corporate America
What is the role of business in addressing issues of the environment, social justice, and governance? To what extent are businesses constrained by their legal obligations to serve the needs of their owners and shareholders? How can they support societal needs that may conflict with those obligations? On the other hand, how can they not support those needs? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ‘57) discusses these questions and more with Ingrid Dyott (left), Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Core Equity and Sustainable Equity strategies at investment management firm Neuberger Berman, and Zicklin School Associate Prof. of Finance Sonali Hazarika (right).
Zicklin Alum Brings Alma Mater and Mother Country Together
Ever since alumnus Carlos dos Santos earned his Executive MBA from the Zicklin School of Business in 1999, he’s been searching for ways to build relationships between his alma mater and his native country, Mozambique, which he represents as ambassador to the United States and Canada. Now, that collaborative spirit has borne its first fruit.
