Certificate in Ethics and Leadership (EAL)
The Ethics and Leadership Certificate helps students learn to recognize and face ethical challenges in their personal lives, communities, and workplaces with confidence, leading those around them to do the same. In particular, through peer discussions, coursework, experiential and other co-curricular learning, individual mentorship, and a personal capstone project, students will (i) critically reflect upon, refine, and articulate their own personal values, (ii) demonstrate leadership by developing strategies to live out their values when doing so might not be the popular or easy thing to do and learn to be allies to those communities they stand outside of, yet might benefit from their talents most, and (iii) become better informed about and able to recognize and respond to the ethical challenges facing their field of study in preparation for joining the workforce. More information can be found at the Ethics and Leadership Initiative website.
