SBS faculty collaborate across disciplines to develop innovative programs that combine rigorous academic study with experiential learning, industry engagement, and community partnerships.
The School of Business & Society is home for the Banta Center for Ethical and Purposeful Leadership, which serves as a forum for conversation, inquiry, and research on the role of ethics and responsibility in modern business leadership. The Center promotes interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching, and community engagement that examine how organizations create value while acting responsibly toward society. Through speaker series, research initiatives, and faculty collaborations, the Banta Center advances the integration of ethical reasoning, leadership development, and responsible innovation within business education. Faculty frequently collaborate with the Center to explore issues such as ethical artificial intelligence, responsible innovation, governance of emerging technologies, and the societal implications of digital transformation.

As artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, digital platforms, and automation reshape market systems and business strategy, the School seeks faculty who can help prepare students to navigate and lead in technology-enabled environments.
