Ideas Worth Teaching & Faculty Pioneer Awards: Former Recipients

For nearly two decades, the Aspen Institute Faculty Pioneer Awards recognized faculty at the vanguard of teaching about the business and society interface. Following the tradition and legacy of the Faculty Pioneer Awards, the Business & Society Program started a new awards program called the Ideas Worth Teaching Awards in 2017. These awards are focused on the business school courses, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, that are redefining excellence in business school education.
