FASPE Business Program Opportunity

Hi everyone,

Professor Hafrey would like to share with you information about the FASPE Business Program, taking place in May of next year (applications due January 11th).

"FASPE Business (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics in Business) is a fully-funded two-week summer program that uses the conduct of executives and managers in Nazi Germany as a launching point and backdrop for an intensive study of contemporary business ethics and leadership."

More information has been posted under Materials > Handouts and Study Questions.

Thanks!
