Achievements Curriculum Integration in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
* Curriculum integration. A student committee, supervised by the Center for Responsible Business at Haas, is exploring opportunities to integrate sustainability into both core and elective courses.
* Program design. Three academic centers on Haas' campus do work in the area of CSR and sustainability: The Center for Responsible Business, the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership, and the Global Social Venture Competition. A working group consisting of the leaders of those three organizations has been created to coordinate the activities of the three organizations and identify opportunities for collaboration that will enhance the socially- and environmentally-focused extracurricular offerings at Haas.
* Other achievements. Please see our program profile and past achievements on the Beyond Gray Pinstripes website: http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/school/uc-berkeley-haas
