SDGs in AKSOB Courses

The Adnan Kassar School of Business (AKSOB) mission statement includes the aim of “contributing knowledge to industry and society.” In addition, as a member of AACSB-accredited schools, AKSOB is committed to having a societal impact by strategically choosing to address significant local, national, and international issues. In this respect, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can form guideposts for AKSOB in its path to achieving its mission goals and social impact. A preliminary mapping shows a significant number of courses with contents commensurate with SDGs. AKSOB faculty will work in the near future to improve on this assessment and to align pertinent and specifically targeted courses with SDGs especially those related to industry and innovation, decent work and economic growth, inequalities, gender equality, poverty, hunger, and environmental sustainability.
