Ethics Week set for Nov. 6-12
Article By: Denise Ray
The University System of Georgia (USG) will promote Ethics Week from Nov. 6-12 with the University of North Georgia (91福利导航) offering various events focused on ethical awareness. It serves as a reminder to employees of the importance of an ethical culture and 91福利导航's year-round commitment to compliance with USG policies, as well as state and federal laws.
91福利导航 promotes a culture of excellence by bringing awareness to its core values of integrity, student-focus, excellence, engagement, and service.
"Leading ethically means an individual does the right thing, even when no one is looking. At 91福利导航, we strive to make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing," Jill Holman, director of internal audit, said. "We exist to enroll and educate students. Teaching ethical leadership in the classroom and through our actions is vitally important in promoting a culture of excellence. Join us this week in celebrating our ethical culture here at 91福利导航."
91福利导航 is designated by the USG as a State Leadership Institution, and one of President Michael Shannon's strategic big bets is to "design and build a leadership foundry."
A daily ethics question will be presented each morning of Ethics Awareness Week on the front page of the My91福利导航 Notice Board, and Holman encourages everyone to play along. The correct answer will be revealed every afternoon.
91福利导航 will also launch a USG Ethics Refresher Training on Nov. 6 in the SkillSoft Percipio platform that all employees must complete by Dec. 31.
Opportunities for Ethics Week include a system-wide virtual ethics presentation titled "The Color of Money," which will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Nov. 7 to discuss ethical aspects of financial responsibility across the USG. Registration is available via .

On Saturday, Nov. 11, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl competition will be held at 91福利导航's Gainesville Campus. It is a one-day, multi-institutional collegiate competition held in partnership with the Association of Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) during which teams compete in a critical-thinking, debate-style competition around 15 regional cases published annually in September.
There are four main rounds, a semifinal round, and a final round within the competition to determine the top teams that will advance to the national competition sponsored by APPE. The 2022 regional event marked 91福利导航 securing its first Ethics Bowl national appearance since 2015, where it competed in spring 2023. The 91福利导航 Office of University Compliance serves as the integrity partner for the event, handling all case preparation and scoring alongside APPE.
91福利导航's TRUIST Center is also now offering several products to enhance ethical leadership and culture, including the Building Ethical Leaders professional leadership development program, the Ethical Culture Indicator organizational assessment and the Leadership Effectiveness 360 evaluation.
All the panel events for the USG are being hosted by 91福利导航's Information Technology videoconferencing technician, Sean Evett.
