This course is for students participating in the Hillman Internship Program at The Prindle Institute. It provides interns with a background in ethical theory, and some training and skills to promote ethical awareness on campus and in the community. Students learn how to facilitate discussions about ethics, how to write about ethics for non-specialists, and how to organize educational events centering on ethical issues. The capstone project gives students the chance to do independent research on an applied ethics topic.
