The Ethics Institute
How we model Ethics
The Ethics Institute at the Harris College of Business provides students with opportunities to learn directly from business leaders who embody the highest ethical standards. Each semester, we invite distinguished speakers from various industries to share their personal journeys, leadership philosophies, and ethical challenges. By learning from these role models, our students are better equipped to address the ethical challenges they may encounter in their own careers.
Grounded in Biblical Principles
With Colossians 3:23 as the foundation of the Ethics Institute, we encourage our students to be men and women of high moral character and integrity.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” Colossians 3:23
As our students develop influence in the world of business, our goal is to provide them with the tools necessary to guide their decision-making processes. As Christians, our model for ethical behavior is Jesus Christ and the Bible provides numerous examples to guide us. Therefore, we believe that modeling ethical behavior, studying real-world examples, and discussing potential ethical situations will better prepare our students to be ethical leaders in today’s market.
