Because here, we believe that working for the greater good moves us all forward.
Founded in 2008 with a gift from a former Ernst & Young LLP vice chairman, the Dean Institute focuses on doing good business. Here, corporate directors and officers have the opportunity to converse and collaborate with each other—through lectures, networking events, and workshops—about employing honesty and fairness in the workplace.
