History

Founded in 1987, the Center on Ethics is a non-profit organization devoted to the study of business and professional ethics, and matters of social responsibility. Since its inception, the Center has sponsored lectures that address current business, social, political, and health care issues. The Center is inter-disciplinary and encourages and supports research by faculty, students, and practitioners on issues of social responsibility broadly, and professional and business ethics more specifically. In addition, the Center has sponsored conferences on selected topics, established a working paper series, and provided training and workshop seminars on topical issues in social responsibility.
