Yesterday, April 5, 2022, AACSB International (AACSB)—the world’s largest business education alliance—announced SolBridge International School of Business among 24 business schools highlighted in its Innovations That Inspire member spotlight program. 

 

This annual program recognizes institutions from around the world that serve as champions of change in the business education landscape. In 2022, the highlights feature efforts to elevate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). Emphasis on DEIB is a key feature of AACSB’s 2020 business accreditation standards and the focus of a recently released positioning paper. The paper illustrates AACSB’s commitment to equitable access to high-quality business education globally and calls on the business education community to embed the tenets of DEIB into its strategies and cultures.  

 

SolBridge is recognized for the “Think Global, Act Local – On the Track for Change program. An initiative where SolBridge partners with local government initiatives to transform local platforms into sites for global exchange. These “glocalization” initiatives enable SolBridge to spearhead meaningful change and nurture future community leaders.

 

“Progress toward more welcoming, inclusive spaces requires action, and SolBridge demonstrates leadership in this important effort,” said Caryn Beck-Dudley, AACSB president and CEO. “Through collaborations—among business schools, businesses, and communities—we will create a strong global society and equip leaders for positive impact.”

 

Now in its seventh year, the Innovations That Inspire initiative has highlighted nearly 200 business school efforts that exemplify forward-looking approaches to education, research, community engagement or outreach, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Support for the 2022 Innovations That Inspire member spotlight program is provided by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
