CSR at the University of St. Michael's College
The first of its kind in Canada, the Certificate in CSR
(CSRwire) The Certificate in CSR at the Univeresity of St. Michael's College
has been developed in collaboration with the Conference Board of Canada.
Conference Board members have been well represented in the inaugural class
which has included CSR officers from Nexen, Shell, Hydro One, IBM, Suncor,
CIBC, and Refreshments Canada.
The Certificate offers opportunities for further reading, reflection and
action on CSR issues. St. Michael's faculty bring to these issues
understandings gleaned not only from the perspective of business but also
from a tradition that includes the study of literature, philosophy and
ethics. The goal of the program is to engage participants in a process
of weaving together the major components of CSR and to do so in a way
that provides respite from customary corporate activity. The result, for
some students, has already been transformational.
A new cycle of the program will begin in June of this year. The
introductory three day session, June 9-11, 2003 will introduce our newest
learning tool, a business simulation entitled "ExperienceCSR" designed
specifically for this program.
A full description of the Certificate, which consists of three required
modules and one elective, is available on our website,
www.utoronto.ca/stmikes . To go directly to the certificate description,
