Date: June 18-20, 2012
Location: University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio

In the last 50 years, the role of business education in Catholic universities has become increasingly significant. World-wide there are over 1800 Catholic universities with more than 200 in the US. A growing number of these universities have business programs, some of which are the largest professional degree programs in their university. As business education occupies an expanded role in Catholic colleges and universities, the future of Catholic higher education is inseparable from how its mission and identity is appropriated and explained within its business program. Reciprocally, how business programs and their stakeholder network influence the Catholic mission and identity of the university itself is another closely related matter requiring careful reflection.
Some highlights of the conference include:
- Opening Plenary Speaker: Cardinal Peter Turkson (President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace). "Catholic Social Principles and Business Education."
- Plenary Panel: Don Briel (Director, Center for Catholic Studies, University of St. Thomas, Minn.) and James Heft, S.M. (president of the institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC), "Institutionalizing Catholic Identity."
- Dean's Roundtable: Ellen Harshman (St. Louis University), Thomas Bausch (Marquette University) and Joseph Diangelo (St. Joseph University, Philadelphia)
- Plenary Speaker: William Sullivan, co-author of Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession, "Rethinking Business Education as a Profession."
- Over 60 academic papers on the relationship of business education and its relationship to Catholic mission and identity (see www.stthomas.edu/dayton for a schedule and registration information)
