Stanley S. Litow was the speaker of the seminar Beyond Responsibility: The Role of Citizenship in the 21st Century on December 8th. He is the Vice President of IBM’s Corporate Citizenship and Corporate Affairs, and also the President of the IBM Foundation. The main topic of the session was Corporate Social Responsibility, the backbone of IBM’s successful business strategy.
This enrichment workshop was awkward, to say the least. I was the only one not in business attire. On top of that, the woman who was writing my name down to “register” for the seminar asked me,”Are you sure this is the right one you’re looking for?” No,lady, I’m not sure. How many seminars could Stanley S. Litow be conducting at Baruch that night? I’m sure he’s a busy man.
Despite the awkwardness, I found the workshop to be very informative and helpful. I wasn’t even aware of the concept of corporate citizenship until this workshop, and I’m very interested in looking into it.
