Where ethics, leadership, business and the future intersect.

The Center for Leadership Ethics brings scholars with diverse backgrounds together to explore, challenge and improve the ethical decision making of organizations.

Through cutting-edge research and a commitment to education and outreach, we work every day to advance the ethics culture of businesses around the world.

Featured Program: High School Ethics Forum

The ability to analyze and challenge ethical reasoning is one of the most valuable skills students can learn. The Center for Leadership Ethics’ annual High School Ethics Forum provides an opportunity to do just that. In a unique, hands-on environment, students are challenged to explore personal and professional ethical dilemmas using a variety of ethical decision making models. Through this process, students learn to develop ethical solutions collaboratively—providing valuable networking opportunities and building a foundation for success as a business professional.
