From Jeff Padnos, President, Padnos Iron & Metal, Inc, an innovative, progressive, and successful sustainability company headquarted in Holland, MI: “ I think this piece by David Brooks is profoundly significant and I think it bodes well for exactly what you do as director of the Center. Or at least what you do with us as you work with our managers. I hope you get a chance to do this in your classrooms as well. I think business students would be well served by this type of experience, if they do not already get it. I do not know the status of the discussion about whether "ethics" is a separate course in philosophy vs business, but my inclination, as you know, is to minimize that split."
