Ethics and Leadership Lecture
Business ethics is a cornerstone of the Brennan School curriculum. The Brennan School鈥檚 annual Ethics and Leadership Lecture, sponsored by our Christopher Chair in Business Ethics, invites internationally recognized corporate, civic and government executives to address current issues of principled leadership. This annual lecture brings an unprecedented level of access to these leaders for the Chicago business community.
As part of this event, the Brennan School of Business will present the selected speaker with the P站视频 Ethics and Leadership Award. The award is presented to a leader who has demonstrated ethical behavior and principled leadership throughout his or her career. The recipient will be recognized for visionary leadership and alignment with the university鈥檚 core values of truth, compassionate service, and the creation of a more just and humane world.
