This Month's Highlight: Share This:
Race & Business
The shooting of Trayvon Martin and ongoing investigation have caught the attention of the nation.  Not only did the event lead to the creation of the largest ever created website petition (on Change.org, for George Zimmerman’s arrest), but it has brought the public’s attention back to an ongoing dialogue around the state of race relations in the United States. This month, we highlight how MBA programs are treating the topic of race.
