In the fourth week of July, we celebrated online the 10th anniversary of the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business at De La Salle University. This celebration felt a bit surreal to me; after all, the pandemic is still here. A year and a half of teaching online, faculty, students and administrators have struggled with unstable internet connections, dealing with the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), and caring for our well-being. Nevertheless, there is still reason to keep faith and hope. Choppy internet connections should not stop our drive for authentic learning and community building.

With this premise, I realize that an effective response to the pandemic should be more than 'restarting,' Instead, the pandemic can be an opportunity for a 'great renewal.' In business and management education, this means: setting social and ecological outcomes as the primary goals of business; framing education as a platform for both learning and facilitating relationships; and rethinking higher education pedagogy.
