Got Ethics?

Wake Forest University is preparing to sponsor a Case Competition Team that will attend the first annual Ethics Bowl, sponsored by the North Carolina Independent Colleges & Universities.

The theme for the 2012 Ethics Bowl is “Ethics in the Workplace.” An interest meeting will be held Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 at 11am in Benson Room 401C/D.

All who will be undergraduates as of February 2012 are invited to apply. Students from each of our schools – Undergraduate College, Divinity, & Business – are encouraged to apply!

Participation on this team will provide students with valuable skills and experience. Students will exercise and improve their analytical thinking skills and will become more aware of the responsibility and accountability they will be charged with as members of their communities. Also, students will be better prepared to serve as leaders in these communities, as well as in public and private sector organizations.

During preparation sessions, participants will be asked to understand the ethical dimensions of various environments as well as to critically evaluate key moral issues. An emphasis will be placed on problem-solving and effective communication skills.

For more information, please contact Charles Lankau, coordinator, at lankauca@wfu.edu or Simina Stefan, the assistant, at stefs8@wfu.edu.
