Accomplishments

For our Ethics course, my group and I participated in an engaged scholarship project in collaboration with Catharyn Baird, CEO of EthicsGame. EthicsGame conducts research to categorize individuals' ethical decision-making styles into distinct "ethical lenses." Their interactive case studies help students explore and apply various ethical frameworks, while their Ethics Exercises reinforce key concepts and compliance principles through rapid-response, multiple-choice scenarios. Our group's mission was to evaluate the accuracy of these ethical lens assessments by conducting our own research and analysis. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or view our final project!
