The development of a new interdisciplinary minor focusing on ethics, values, and professional life.

This initiative, Ethics, Values and Professional Life (EVPL), aims to foster collaboration between philosophy and pre-professional departments to support the coordination and development of curricular and co-curricular ethics programming at Le Moyne College. The aim of this grant is to establish a new philosophy minor in professional ethics. Its goal is to help students engage in questions of personal values, ultimate meaning, vocation, and professional ethics. Courses will address normative ethics, applied ethics, moral psychology and social justice as they appear in real life. EVPL will be developed and executed by a team from all three schools of the College to further integrate the humanities across campus and will be integrated in our Manresa vocational program, providing opportunities to use the rigorous modes of thinking found in philosophy in concrete, relevant ways.
