“Finding Purpose: Environmental Stewardship as a Personal Calling” by Dr. Andrew Hoffman

March 21, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Andrew Hoffman is Holcim (US), Inc. Professor of Sustainable Enterprise Education, Professor of Management & Organizations, Professor of Natural Resources, and the Director of the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan. The notion of a calling is needed in business more than ever. Business is the most powerful institution on earth and if it is not solving our great challenges that society faces, they will not be solved. In this talk, Hoffman will draw from his recently published book to talk about the ways in which students and managers are thinking of their career as a calling, and focus that work on environmental sustainability. He will talk about the ways in which business sustainability has been framed for the past 20 years and how it will be framed for the next 20. The lessons he will draw are applicable to a host of issues that go far beyond this one topic.

A limited number of box lunches will be available at 12:00. Please RSVP for lunch at: [email protected]by 3/16. Lecture is free and open to the public. Event Co-Sponsored by Center for Sustainability, the Office of the Dean of Science and Sustainability, the Sustainable Business Department, and the West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum. The Aquinas Economicology Forum is supported by a generous grant from the Wege Foundation.
