The Leeds giving story
The naming gift for the Leeds School of Business set the school on a track that鈥檚 equipped its student, alumni and faculty to bring invaluable perspectives to the changing world of work. Just after Michael Leeds and his family announced the gift, in 2001, the Enron scandal made clear that the phrase 鈥渂usiness ethics鈥 had become an oxymoron. The gift instilled within the school a purpose and a mission to consider ethics a core business skill, like finance or marketing. For more than 20 years, Leeds has emphasized ethics, social responsibility, diversity and sustainability鈥攄emonstrating the business case for these values long before they made it to the C-suite. Now, as industry confronts an age of A.I., climate change and increasing geopolitical tension, Leeds and its graduates are better prepared than ever to ensure business has a seat at the table in solving the greatest challenges of tomorrow.听Meet Michael Leeds
