Khurana

Rakesh Khurana, professor of business administration at the Harvard Business School, is scheduled as the inaugural speaker for the Carey Business School's Dean's Lecture Series, to be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, in Mason Hall on the Homewood campus.

Khurana's lecture is titled "The Past as Prologue: The Professionalization Project in American Business Education." His research focuses on the institutions that shape and educate the business leaders of tomorrow. His recent book, From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession, calls for business schools to rejuvenate the intellectual and moral training of future business leaders.

The Dean's Lecture Series is intended to enrich the intellectual and academic life of the Carey School and to engage the larger Johns Hopkins community in a discussion of the latest thinking about business school education, the opportunities and challenges these schools face and how they will need to respond to the future needs of society. Respected academics from business schools around the world will be featured.

Admission to the lecture is free, but registration at carey.jhu.edu/deanslectures is required. For more information, call 410-516-4471 or e-mail carey.lectureseries@jhu.edu.
