COLLEGE OF BUSINESS COMPETITIONS n The team from Brigham Young Uni- versity won the fourth annual Inter- national Ethics Case Competition sponsored by the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Designed to challenge students' ethical reasoning and promote awareness of corporate social responsibility, this year's com- petition included university teams from the United States, China, Canada, and Mexico. Students had to weigh questions of right and wrong against the need for revitalizing a rundown neighborhood and pro- ducing a new revenue stream for an ailing bank. Teams from the University of Texas at Austin and Pennsylvania State University won the "Bright Line" awards for highly ethical arguments. FACILITIES n The Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, has celebrated a ceremonial groundbreaking for its new $65 mil- lion, 210,000-square-foot building, Richard T. Farmer Hall. Designed by the New York firm of Robert A.M. Stern Architects LLP, the clas- sic Georgian Revival architectural style will blend with the existing buildings on campus and incorporate eco-friendly elements geared to meet Leadership in Energy and Environ- mental Design (LEED) standards. The new building will feature a trad- ing room, cluster rooms, and break- out rooms open to undergraduates as well as graduates. Part of the funding of the new building was donated by Richard Farmer, founder and chair- man of Cintas Corporation. n z Delivering Innovation The Washington State University College of Business is developing globally competitive business leaders with the skills to deliver transformational innovations. Through the College's nationally recognized Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, student entrepreneurs traveled to Malawi, Africa, in 2006 with an improved treadle pump to help local farmers achieve sustainable economic growth.
