COLLEGE OF BUSINESS Cabrera Advises Global Compact Ángel Cabrera has been appointed to an initial 12-month term as senior adviser for the Global Compact on Academic Affairs. Cabrera is presi- dent of Thunderbird, the Garvin School of International Manage- ment, in Glendale, Arizona. He will lead the task force that will develop the Principles for Respon- sible Business Education to be presented at the Global Com- pact Leaders Summit in July. The Princi- Ángel Cabrera ples for Respon- sible Business Education are intended to help academic institutions partner in the advance- ment of good corporate citizen- ship. Academic institutions from around the world joined forces with the United Nations Global Compact in October 2006 to help draft some of these principles. Par- ticipating groups included AACSB International, the Academy of Management, the British Academy of Management, the European Foundation for Management Development, and the European Academy of Business in Society. Following the July summit, a Global Council for Responsible Business Education will be cre- ated to link academic activities to local operations. The Council's goal will be to stimulate research and case studies, while providing technical support and promoting responsible corporate citizenship worldwide.
