Responsible Leadership Teaching Resources
To support our mission, the Center provides teaching resources to faculty across campus to help integrate lessons, discussions, and assignments surrouding responsible leadership focus areas into their courses. Resources are provided as a tool to help faculty build a framework for students to understand and become responsible leaders. The Center's goal is to create accessible teaching materals that are easily incorporated into courses and embody the values of social responsibility, sustainability, and organizational ethics.
Library Guide
The Center, in collaboration with Campbell Library, has developed a Library Guide as a beginner's tool to all topics regarding responsible business. The Library Guide is equipped with material for readings, case studies, media, and data sources useful for:
- Courses
- Assignments
- Research
Easily access responsible business content through our Library Guide here.
RCRL Teaching Fellows Program
The Rowan Center for Responsible Leadership is dedicated to examining the relationships between business and society. In particular, the mission of the Center is to support the values of social responsibility, sustainability, and organizational ethics among students, faculty and community partners through the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Principles of Responsible Management Education.
The RCRL Teaching Fellows program helps faculty integrate discussion, assignments, and analysis of responsible leadership focus areas into their courses.
Teaching Fellows will develop ‘learning modules’ – collections of pedagogical materials focused around a single issue, concept, or question – that can be readily adapted and integrated by college faculty into their courses.
