WHO WE ARE
The Center for Leadership and Ethics at the McCombs School of Business is preparing leaders for an increasingly chaotic, dynamic, and rapid-paced business environment. Through cutting-edge research and innovative content, we generate transformative insights and life-changing educational experiences so that every student, corporate partner, and leader has an improved capacity to lead, leveraging their unique voice to make a positive impact on society, their organization and the people around them. With some of the most forward-thinking minds in leadership development and research, sports leadership and analytics, and an award-winning collection of ethics education material, the Center for Leadership and Ethics is changing how leaders learn, grow, and lead.
WHAT WE'RE FUNDRAISING FOR
Ethics education is the cornerstone of principled leadership. The Center for Leadership and Ethics plans to expand its behavioral ethics educational content and programming to address new and emerging ethical challenges in growth industries such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, media and sports. The funding will support the research, content development, and staffing necessary to create new knowledge, materials, and tools for students across the university. Of note, our resources are also publicly available and used globally by over 1,200 universities.
YOUR IMPACT
The Center for Leadership and Ethics is changing how future leaders learn, grow and lead through life-changing educational experiences and transformative insights. We are preparing leaders to operate both effectively and ethically in the progressively more chaotic, dynamic and rapid paced business environment.
Increasingly, we need leaders who will do the hard thing, the right thing – not the popular thing. Leaders who understand that to be successful, they must be guided by a consistent set of values – a true north – more than profit or self-interest.
To stay at the leading edge of behavioral ethics instruction, content, and research, we must continue to expand our education content and reach. We currently own this space in a way no other institution does, creating a competitive edge for McCombs and UT. To stay at the forefront of Ethics Education in business we focus on three things:
Developing the Next Generation of Principled Leaders
Using Behavioral Ethics to Improve Leadership Decision Making
Creating Breakthrough Experiences in Business Education
Your gift can materially help us improve and extend the programming and delivery of Ethics Education at McCombs.
