Ethics Video Competition
Ethics in Action Video Competition
The Student Center for the Public Trust is focused on helping individuals identify and respond to ethical dilemmas in their careers. To support this goal, we’re challenging students to create videos that demonstrate the types of challenging ethical dilemmas people could face in their careers. The videos remain open-ended and can end with a thought-provoking question or solution they believe would be most appropriate. Throughout the year, CPT staff and volunteers will engage with the video submissions and college professors will also be able to use these videos to help teach students about ethical leadership.
All UCCS videos must be reviewed by Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at UCCS College of Business or Ethics Faculty Fellow before submitting to national competition.
