Business Ethics and Society Fellows
The BESP Fellows Colloquium is a one-and-a-half credit undergraduate course sponsored by Mendoza’s Business Ethics and Society Program (BESP). The course is open only to 2024–’25 BESP Fellows, who will meet weekly to discuss readings, engage with invited speakers, and form a community of Notre Dame business students interested in exploring the nature of honorable business and their personal commitments to creating value both for themselves and for others.
"The colloquium has been a great opportunity for me to connect with a small group of really dedicated, intelligent students and faculty to discuss the nature of honorable business . Being in the colloquium has helped challenge and change my view of what a business professional should be and the program is really true to the Mendoza College of Business's goal to "Grow the Good in Business."
