Back to school is more than back to partying

“Darden School of Business students are gearing up right now to teach entrepreneurship, financial capability and business foundation courses to adult learners inside Virginia prisons. Through Darden’s partnership with Resilience Education, a Charlottesville-based nonprofit organization co-founded in 2013 by Drs. Greg and Tierney Fairchild, both Darden graduates, MBA students learn how to use the Socratic, case-study teaching model to engage students in principles of business. To share lessons learned with incarcerated learners outside of Virginia, Wharton and Columbia business schools joined the Resilience Education network. To date, more than 550 MBA student instructors have helped over 1,000 incarcerated learners graduate from the program.”
