The Kemper Foundation Lecture Series: Climate Change

The Minor in Business Institutions offered by the Harvey Kapnick Center for Business Institutions is designed to provide Northwestern undergraduates with a rigorous introduction to business and management fundamentals.  The minor is open to all Northwestern undergraduates regardless of major or home school. The minor allows them to build on the set of skills and knowledge they have acquired through other Northwestern coursework to prepare for employment in the business world.  It also allows students to connect their study of business and management fundamentals to broader areas of academic inquiry both by linking the study of principles of business and management to the social science scholarship that these principles are based on and by introducing students to social science and humanities scholarship on the cultural, political, philosophical, literary and social aspects of business institutions. Therefore, the minor is not meant to serve as narrowly conceived pre-professional training.  Instead the minor offers a broad multi-disciplinary perspective on a significant area of inquiry in 21st century society.Students without extensive quantitative training are particularly encouraged to apply.  The minor is designed so that such students can acquire the necessary quantitative background by completing four basic prerequisite courses in mathematics, statistics and economics.

Fall quarter&#x27;s Kemper Foundation Lecture will feature Professor <a href="https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/directory/busse_meghan.aspx" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meghan Busse</a> on the topic of &quot;The Zero Carbon Future: What Everyone Should Know About Climate Change.&quot;The climate is already changing. We can still affect its course, but only by creating a net zero world. Come learn about the progress made so far, what we need to do next, and what policies will help us get there.

Meghan Busse is an Associate Professor of Strategy at the Kellogg School of Management, where she has taught since 2008. Prof. Busse teaches course on strategy, energy markets, and climate change. Her research investigates how the effectiveness of environmental and climate policy is determined not only by the design of the policy itself, but also by the strategies and competitive interactions of the firms to whom the policy is applied. Prof. Busse received her PhD in Economics from MIT and was previously on the faculty of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and the Yale School of Management.

This is a free event. Open to Northwestern University undergraduate students. RSVP required.
