Stone Ethical Leadership Challenge

The Stone Ethical Leadership Challenge (SELC) ensures that the participants leave the program understanding the importance of the ODK Society’s work on campus and in the community. This is leadership program embodies the following values:

Collaboration – to work together to achieve a defined and common purpose
Inclusivity – to actively seek, embrace, and advance a diverse group of individuals
Integrity – to align one’s values and beliefs with behaviors and speech
Scholarship – to strive for excellence in academics and pursue lifelong learning
Service – to answer the call for action from one’s community or country

The SELC is a workshop comprised of presentations and discussions in a facilitated environment. Participants will review, discuss, and explore ethical dilemmas drawn from the real-life experiences of students, faculty, and administrators at colleges and universities. Each scenario provides the chance to explore a different kind of ethical dilemma, and each asks the participants to decide what they would do in the situation.

The program draws for research on Consequentialist and Non-consequentialist ethical theory as well as probing the differences between ethical and moral behavior.
