Forward Together

PRiME Competition 2021

For the third year, we brought the vision and spirit of the global Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) into our local school-wide initiative aiming to build awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our School of Management PRiME Competition!

Our PRiME Competition is part of the Cal Lutheran Festival of Scholars Week which stands for excellence in teaching and learning where we proudly showcase our students’ work. Traditionally, students showcase their projects in-person, however, again this year due to the global crisis caused by Covid-19 we presented the competition virtually bringing the same level of competition, quality of projects and judging for the students! We are proud to say we significantly increased our worldwide exposure by more than doubling our voters who participated in the People's Choice Award virtual voting!
