Congratulations to the team from Western Washington University, winners of the inaugural Milgard Invitational Case Competition on Social Responsibility.

         

                                                                  

 

Last summer the Center commissioned a carpenter to encase a support column on Dougan's first floor.  The case is made in part from lumber reclaimed during the Joy Building renovation.

The column now sports four bulletin boards to showcase our programs, highlight what's happening in the world of corporate social responsibility, and provide food for thought.  Archives of the column's content are available on our website

The next time you're in Dougan Hall, check it out!

The Center hosted its inaugural business conference called "Reputation and Integrity in a Digital Age" in September. 

Over 70 people joined this first-time conference, held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, WA. 

We've already begun work on the next conference and hope you'll join us.

There are countless sites available online to provide greater insight into the world of corporate social responsibility. 

Check out our "Resources" page to get an introduction to a few of them.  You'll find academic institutions and centers like our own, publications on corporate social responsibility, and professional organizations.
