Ethics and College Students

by Eric Stoller

David DeCosse, Director of Campus Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, and Miriam Schulman, Communications Director for the center, came on the show to share their thoughts about the prevailing ethical issues that impact today’s college student. Even with a little video hiccup, we managed to have a really engaging conversation about ethics and higher education. Tweeting as the “Big Q Ethics,” Miriam and David are doing some innovative things with social media, collaboration, and applied ethics.
