The world can always benefit from more ethical leaders — people who, at their core, care about people and their communities.
Ethical leaders use the knowledge and skills they have learned to articulate a vision and empower others.

Thomas More University’s mission is to help students and alumni find their ultimate meaning of life, their place in the world, and their responsibility to others.
To help every organization cultivate ethical leaders, the university’s Institute for Ethical Leadership and Interdisciplinary Studies is offering a virtual panel discussion with ethical leaders moderated by Dr. Cate Sherron and featuring local leaders who understand what it means to lead ethically and why it’s important.
Dr. Sherron is Director of Thomas More’s Institute for Ethical Leadership and Interdisciplinary Studies. She teaches courses in applied ethics.
The discussion will be held February 10, noon-1 p.m. via Zoon. Register here.
