Dr. Charles Wankel, Peter J. Tobin College of Business associate professor of management, delivered a keynote address during the 2010 M/O/T International Conference on Management Learning in Vienna, Austria on December 2, 2010.

His presentation, entitled Management Education in an Epoch of Catastrophes, provided an overview of the diverse ways that educators should be addressing the challenge of transforming management education and the importance that business schools develop leaders equipped to deal with the implications of the current global ecosystem and economic-system crisis.
