New Pitch Competition Focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility
This semester, Georgetown McDonough held its first Georgetown Ventures & Values Pitch Competition as part of the senior capstone course, Social Responsibility in Business. The course, which focuses on the intersection between business and law, public policy, society, and ethics, concludes with undergraduate students pitching their own business idea.

The course framework is loosely structured into three sections. During the first third of the semester, students learn about theories of the origins of wealth and regulatory frameworks. They subsequently read case studies of prominent failures and organizational dilemmas in business, such as the Enron scandal, in order to examine what went wrong and study possible solutions. The last part of the course focuses on how business interacts with society and what creates a legitimate business.
