Visiting Professorship in Business Ethics

The idea of launching a visiting professorship in business ethics stems from Bentley University's mission: "Bentley University changes the world with a transformative business education, integrated with arts and sciences, that inspires and prepares ethical leaders who will confront the challenges of today and shape the opportunities of tomorrow." This professorship explores cutting edge thinking from some of the most insightful experts in the field of business ethics. For many years this program was supported by Verizon Communications, Inc.
