The Center for Ethical Concerns
One of the
hallmarks of Marymount University is its commitment to providing a values-based
education. The Center for Ethical Concerns was founded in 1993 to provide
a forum for the exchange of ideas about ethical issues and to recognize
leaders who advance a strong values-based culture. Through lectures, seminars,
conferences, workshops, and symposia, the Center offers students, faculty,
and the public opportunities to examine ethical concerns facing society.
A faculty
committee works with the Center’s director to develop programs that are
responsive to the needs of the community. Utilizing an interdisciplinary
approach, the Center assists faculty in developing effective ways to teach
ethical concepts in the classroom. The Center brings together students
and faculty from the University’s various academic disciplines to increase
awareness of ethical problems and develop effective techniques to confront
these issues.
The Center
also bestows an annual Ethics Award to recognize an individual who has
taken an outstanding leadership role in promoting and developing ethical
standards and behavior. The Marymount University Ethics Award honors leaders
who, by commitment, effort, and example, advance a strong values-based
culture in their field of endeavor.
