I sport the “I love Colorado” lanyard every time I open my dorm room door.If people don’t realize Denver has over 300 days of sunshine per year, I tell them. If they don’t know about the fact that the city is home to more parks per capita than any other ‘major’ city in the country...
Ultimately Rao is counting on his students to create a more genuine ethic of business, one that would not allow a scandal like Enron to take root. He likes to imagine what a generation of other-centered businesspeople could do for the world. "In about a decade, my students will be in leadership positions," he says with a satisfied smile.
