Recognizing the need for students to become ethical leaders, a new course: Ethical Leadership and Sustainable Organizations, was introduced into the MBA program at Point Park University five years ago. In this paper, we discuss the work we are carrying out to raise ethical awareness among our MBA students. We provide real-life examples of the different ways we connect with students online and offline, as well as the specific techniques used.  We demonstrate the various methods used to engage and teach students such as social media pages, website news features, events, outreach, media and public relations.  For example, Point Park has started a speaker series with business leaders who share a vision of sustainable organizations. The topic of our fifth speaker series is “How Learning Organizations Forecast Well – and Prudently – to Create a Sustainable Visionâ€. Finally, this paper will teach others to use similar methods and techniques in their programs and courses to expand their influence beyond the classroom.
