Faculty Learning Community Spotlight: 
Ethics Across the Curriculum

The Ethics Across the Curriculum Faculty Learning Community (FLC) may be of interest to faculty who would like to discuss the role of ethics in General Education and the opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaborations via ethics activities and generate a comprehensive ethics program across the curriculum. Specifically, faculty are encouraged to join the FLC if they:

• have a course or major assignment in an area of ethical concern
• are interested in helping to define ethics learning outcomes
• wish to discuss ethics in an interdisciplinary context
• want to learn more about teaching, learning and scholarship in ethics

For more information about this FLC, please contact Tina Plottel (SU LIbraries) or Tim Stock (Philosophy).
