“Sustainable finance and investing are taking off- and the world’s top business schools are climbing on board” — Wall Street Journal, 6/10/2019
An article in the Wall Street Journal recently declared that sustainable finance and investment education is making its way into higher education curriculum. But at Marquette, that change happened over a decade ago.
In the 2005-2006 academic year, Dr. Sarah Peck developed and taught the course Investment Ethics. Dedicated to understanding the central role that ethical concepts and consequences play in the practice of finance and specifically investments,this course was one of the first of its kind across the country. Taken up and taught by Dr. David Krause, director of the Applied Investment Management program thereafter, the course eventually landed in the capable hands of Dr. Christopher Merker, Instructor of Practice for Marquette University who has taught the course since 2009.
