The School of Business and Economics at Seattle Pacific University is the first business school in the Pacific Northwest to adopt the United Nations' "Principles for Responsible Management Education."  As an early adopter, SBE joins a number of other leading business schools in committing to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.
