Ethical Investing to Impact Social Change . RG ST 190EI
What are corporate America's ethical responsibilities to its constituents? This discussion-based course explores "Conscience" investing i.e. directing investments to address ESG (i.e. Environmental, Societal and Corporate Governance) challenges. Topics include: What is "Socially Responsible" Investing and how does it differ from "Impact" Investing? How can investments help address poverty, global health, climate change? How can students hone their presentation skills to engage and persuade more effectively? Students can enhance their personal financial skills as they gain "how-to" real-life perspectives on leading ESG challenges and investment best-practices.

Professor Kauffman was amazing! He really cares about his students and his lectures are very interesting. I would definitely take another class from him.
I highly recommend taking Professor Kauffman's Classes. He really cares for his students. He wants them to do well in life (as well as in class). As for the actual class, you learn valuable advice for actual life and I thought his lectures explain everything well. If you show up and put in some work you'll get a lot out of the class.
This prof is super nice. If you participate in class, you'll get an A. Have to be okay with giving presentations (it's 60% of your grade).
This class is graded so harshly, not to mention you have to essentially teach yourself. Do NOT enroll in this class if you don't have a foundation with econ, even econ majors were stumped!
