About the Ethics Center

The Ethics Center at Oklahoma State University, which is the only college or university ethics institute or center in the state, is committed to promoting moral reflection and deliberation in personal, professional, community, and civic life. The Ethics Center does not seek to dictate values; rather, we attempt to meet our organizational commitments by organizing and promoting workshops, symposia, conferences, and other forums where those interested, including professional ethicists, faculty, students, and the general public, can study and discuss relevant topics. In addition, we will attempt to support research relating to applied and professional ethics. Finally, the Ethics Center will provide Oklahoma State University with a centralized office that students, faculty and the public can contact to find out what ethics classes and resources are available. The Ethics Center is sponsored and operated by the OSU Philosophy Department, Dr. Scott Gelfand, Director, and Dr. Lorraine Landry, Assistant Director, and overseen by a standing committee of faculty members having research and teaching interests in applied and professional ethics.
