The ethics and leadership undergraduate certificate aims to rise to the challenges set out by this Initiative:
- In your role as a student, a friend, a community member and a future employee, you do and will continue to face situations in which it is not clear which action is best or right. Ethics provides the tools necessary to weigh values and discern what you ought to do.
- However, even when the right action becomes clear, it is rarely an easy task to perform that action. This is where Leadership comes in. Leaders are people who do not follow, but rather act from their own set of values.
The goal of the certificate is to provide a foundation and a framework that both directly helps cultivate Ethics and Leadership, as well as indirectly aids students in learning these lessons in their other courses and lives more broadly.
