Jaime Luque was named a 2017 Ideas Worth Teaching Award winner by The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program.  He is being recognized for a portion of his Real Estate 420: Urban and Regional Economics course—an assignment designed in collaboration with Wisconsin School of Business’ educational innovations team to address affordable housing in the Madison area.

 

One of only 20 such awards given worldwide, the program acknowledges unique, forward-thinking undergraduate and graduate business courses that inspire and prepare future business innovators. A release from the Institute states that this year’s winners focused on “critical social issues ripped from the headlines” and “paint a picture of what is possible in management education.”
