StartingBloc's Institute for Responsible Leadership

[Pham Anh Khoa (Khoa Pham)]

Dear Vietnamese Students in the New England area,

As the revelations of financial abuses, most notoriously including Enron and WorldCom, have come to light over the last few years, the next generation’s leaders will likely face many questions of ethical responsibility of leadership and corporate accountability.

In that context, StartingBloc's Institute for Responsible Leadership (IRL) was born to enhance knowledge and awareness of how young leaders will reconcile the conflict between business behavior and corporate citizenship. IRL will create leaders who understand the problems with our current economic modality, have the resources to approach them, and have the drive to tackle them.

By joining a series of educational conferences exclusively offered by StartingBloc, you will be the opportunity to network with professionals, hear insightful panel discussions and keynote presentations, and collaborate with undergraduates dedicated to improving business and society.

Once again, we are excited that you will be joining us. The strength of this program is students like you, and what you bring to the program. We all look forward to meeting you and working with you in the future.

Regards,



Member of the Institute for Responsible Leadership

Subject: StartingBloc 2004-2005 IRL Application

Good evening,

The 2004-2005 application to the Institute for Responsible Leadership is now

The Greater Boston Institute will be run in partnership with the Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan School of Management, The Carroll School of Management at Boston College, and Babson College.

Students in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are eligible to apply to the Greater NYC Institute for Responsible Leadership. The Greater NYC Institute will be run in partnership with Yale SOM, The Wharton School at UPENN, Columbia University, and the NYU Stern School of Business.

The 2004-2005 IRL will have countless more opportunities upon completion,

Each Institute training session is held at a different university where you will have an exclusive sneak preview at business school. You will work through cases with business school faculty, be able to meet business school admissions officers, and learn about idfferent programs at each business school.
