Teaching

In the core MBA curriculum, I teach Business Ethics to full-time students in Charlottesville and part-time students at Darden’s DC campus. Managing Social Impact is an elective that I designed and deliver to our second-year, full-time MBAs. For a copy of either syllabus, please send me an email.

A few recent evaluation excerpts are listed below.

business ethics: mba core

“Lauren was among the best professors I had in core. I have never been so excited to come to class, and she did an incredible job teaching us frameworks and leading class discussion in a way that genuinely challenged my beliefs and preconceptions.”

“Lauren brings a tremendous amount of energy, expertise, and humor to our classroom.” 

“She comes to class every day excited and energetic. Lauren clearly has a passion for the subject and knows it well. I feel like I can share my opinions and have an open and honest discussion.”

managing social impact: mba elective

“This was, by far, the most valuable and interesting class I've taken at Darden. I found what I was looking for in Lauren's class: theories and practical lenses to view the world and understand how to make better decisions - as businesses and as individuals.”

“Lauren is one of the most thoughtful, insightful, and witty professors I've met at Darden. She expected a lot of us -- in the best way.”

“Lauren was my favorite professor this quarter. She has such a strong handle on the academics and is absolutely brilliant leading discussions. It was a joy to come to this class every day.”
