- Yours is the most important job in the academy. Anyone can teach someone the skills to build a car; few can help students choose a worthy destination. B Corp is a tool you can use to help students see what mountains there are to climb, and to give them a roadmap for how to get there, mile markers to measure their progress, and most importantly, a community with whom to share the journey.
