Management as a Calling: A Training Program

Deadline: 1 December, 2025

Business has the power to shape the world—let’s make sure we’re using it wisely.

Too often, business education focuses solely on what to do—the tools, the tactics, the techniques—and not enough on why and when to use them. It’s time to change that.

Management as a Calling is more than a book(link is external) and more than an award-winning(link is external) MBA course—it’s a movement to reimagine business leadership as a force for good.

Now, professor and author Andrew Hoffman and Suzanne Shanahan, executive director of Notre Dame’s Institute for Social Concerns, are partnering to bring this vision to life. They’re inviting business faculty from across the United States and beyond to join them in a bold effort to infuse meaning, purpose, and moral clarity into the business curriculum.

Selected applicants will participate in a fully funded workshop at the University of Notre Dame February 12–14, 2026. At the workshop, faculty will begin developing a version of the course that suits their context. Accepted faculty will be expected to teach the course in the 2026-2027 academic year. Faculty who teach undergraduates are especially encouraged to apply.

Participating faculty will receive a $2,500 stipend, and all the costs of their attendance at the workshop will be covered. Additionally, participants will:

  • Receive feedback and support from experts in pedagogy as they develop the syllabus for their new course or program
  • Be asked to attend four follow-up Zoom sessions to continue the work begun at the workshop
  • Be expected to share their final syllabus/program overview
  • Required to share information metrics and/or measures of success.


Request for Proposals: PRME Students Innovation Studio Design

Timeline: Proposals due 15 December, 2026

The PRME Students Innovation Studio, an initiative of the UN Global Compact, is a global incubator programme supporting interdisciplinary student teams in transforming bold sustainability ideas into impact-driven ventures. Selected teams will receive guided mentorship and winning teams will be awarded seed funding, along with the opportunity to showcase their solutions at the 2026 PRME Global Forum in Cairo, Egypt at the end of June.

The core objective of this collaboration is to co-design an innovation studio tailored specifically to the needs, values, and ambitions of the PRME community, rather than replicating a standard incubator model. We are committed to building an incubator that supports teams in meaningfully developing and advancing their ventures, rather than producing short-term ideas that fail to progress after the programme ends. We seek an individual or team with design-thinking, systems-thinking, and innovation expertise, from PRME Signatory Members, to help develop a sustainable, replicable incubator model with impact. Key objectives include:

  • Create a purpose-built innovation studio model that responds to PRME’s mission, student context, and sustainability focus.

  • Design a system that supports long-term venture success, ensuring participants continue developing their initiatives beyond the incubator, rather than projects ending after the programme.

  • Embed systems thinking, human-centered design, and innovation methodologies to strengthen the studio’s strategic and operational foundation.

  • Integrate mentorship through our partnership with the UN Global Compact SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals, ensuring mentors are trained and supported to guide student teams effectively.

A significant portion of the Global Forum’s programme will be set aside for breakout tracks dedicated to four of the Seven Principles of PRME: Research, Teach, Partner, and Practice. These sessions are designed to help participants move from inspiration to implementation by sharing concrete practices, frameworks, and institutional pathways. The objective of the breakout tracks is to provide tools, resources, and knowledge on how the Principles can be utilized as vehicles for transformation and sustainable development integration into business and management schools. Each track at the Global Forum will include four sessions over two days, featuring a mix of contributions from the PRME Secretariat and Signatory Members. The Secretariat will only be considering proposals for sessions from PRME Signatory Members.
