[Dba-l] Important: Winter Syllabus / Ethics Lecture

[LeAnn Waldroup]

SENT ON BEHALF OF DEAN CHRIS MARTIN

 

Dear Faculty,

 

Before you put the finishing touches on your Winter syllabus, please note
that the 16th annual William Ardis Marbury Jr. and Virginia Lomax Marbury
Lecture Series will take place on Tuesday, January 24, at 10 a.m. This year,
award winning documentarian Gregory Kallenberg will screen his docuseries
Rational Middle: Net Zero. The series focuses on what it will take to reach
net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, contextualizing the current state of
energy and energy consumption, and its effect on our environment, our
communities, and our livelihoods.  

 

Discussion will focus on the roles business, policy, and private investment
play; the economic and market implications to achieve net zero; and what
happens to communities and economies (like ours) built on fossil fuels that
are being phased out.

 

While ALL faculty and students are encouraged to attend, I ask that ALL 10
a.m. classes on January 24 convene for the screening so that your students
(across all business disciplines) can become active participants in the
discussion. Please adjust your syllabi accordingly.

 

If you would like to view the Net Zero official trailer, I have provided a

Have a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving Break!

 

Chris
