Ethics Day 2014
On Wednesday, October 29, 2014, the West St Paul-Mendota Heights Rotary Club hosted 60 Henry Sibley High School Students at an all day leadership seminar focused on ethics. This program, conducted in part by the University of St. Thomas and local Rotary volunteers, is designed to teach targeted formal and informal student leaders about ethical behavior and raise their consciousness regarding choices they make regarding their own behavior.
The course also gives an opportunity for local business leaders to join the students at lunch for a round-table discussion about being ethical in the business world. Topics ranged from:
- How to chart an ethical course in business as it relates to customers, vendors and employees
- Sharing ways that set expectations of ethical behavior amongst employees
- Discussing with the students how they set ethical boundaries for themselves
The students were very engaged in the discussion.
