May 11: The Benefits of a Dean's Book Club (BizEd)

In 2011, I had an idea: Why not start a Dean’s Book Club for faculty? I thought that starting a book club here at the University of Richmond’s Robins School of Business in Virginia could be a way to stimulate ideas among our faculty for curricular and pedagogical change. That same year, the book Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession was published, stimulating much discussion among business educators. It seemed an important book for our faculty to read, particularly to encourage us to think more about how we integrate liberal arts and business education.
