As academic content editor at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, Mary Lorson is an all-purpose communicator on behalf of faculty research, external relations outreach and college impact work. The SC Johnson College has a growing commitment to the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), a cohort of more than 850 global business schools committed to aligning curriculum with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Schools become Signatories to the Principles, submitting annual reports sharing information on our progress with other schools.
Another part of this signatory status is to support a PRME Global Students (PGS) chapter. As an Engaged Faculty Fellow, Lorson is exploring the possible ways to establish this student chapter, hoping along the way to extend community-engaged learning into the global nonprofit sector (either within the curriculum or in a co-curricular offering), to activate student perspectives in the planning and measuring of responsible global business education and to fulfill the college’s commitment to the PRME principles. Students who work to establish Cornell’s PGS chapter, and future student PGS members, will benefit from the experience of crafting a future-focused structure with civic purpose that will outlast their time at Cornell, involving them in work they may well want to do after graduation.
