Before his untimely death in 2012, Donald Summers taught undergraduate and graduate courses at SPU with an emphasis in business ethics, change management, strategic planning, and human resources. Most recently, he helped promote and lead the annual Social Venture Plan Competition — a unique event that gives students the opportunity to collaborate and develop a plan for a business with a social benefit.
