NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ETHICS IN AMERICA-APPLY NOW!
The National Conference on Ethics in America is October 18-22, 2009 (Sunday-Thursday). UCONN has been invited to send TWO students to this very prestigious conference. The NCEA is an annual event hosted by the United States Military Academy at West Point. Presented through the generosity of the West Point Class of 1970, NCEA serves to promote awareness among undergraduate students of ethical issues in collegiate communities and professional career fields. Each year, over 150 students representing more than 60 academic institutions from across the country participate in the conference. These outstanding young men and women work with exceptional mentors from a variety of backgrounds to discuss moral and ethical challenges that we as a society face in all facets of day to day life. The goal is to challenge the delegates to think critically about relevant topics and to facilitate a dialogue that lays the groundwork for the delegates to build upon as they bring their ideas back to their colleges and universities.
For more information on the conference, visit: http://www.usma.edu/uscc/scpme/ncea/index.html. PARTICIPATION IS AT NO COST TO YOU!!! All expenses are paid for by the conference and the Honors Program will cover transportation costs. Interested students should submit a brief statement as to why they are interested in attending to rebecca.gates@uconn.edu by September 22, 2009.
