Strategic Decision Making & Ethical Leadership

A Conference for Undergraduate Leaders
October 23-24, 20265

At the third annual conference, undergraduate student leaders will be equipped with the basic tools in ethical decision making that will serve as a foundation for a productive year of student leadership on their campuses. They will also network with other student leaders from colleges and universities across the country. This year's conference will include a mock case that students work on together, and across institutions, throughout the weekend. 

This conference is presented by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University, the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership and the Poe Business Ethics Center at the Warrington College of Business, University of Florida. 

All events will take place at The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. During the conference, students will also interact with a Smithsonian traveling exhibit that will be on display called "Voices & Votes: Democracy in America."

Please indicate your interest in attending and stay tuned for more information. An official registration form will be provided in September. For the best experience, students should plan to travel in on Friday, October 23 and leave the morning of Sunday, October 25.
