Happy Ethics Awareness Week (EAW)!
Our theme for the week is, Celebrating our Ethical Culture. Please enjoy the USG EAW Kickoff Video: https://youtu.be/jza0y1txIGY and take a few moments to review the USG Ethics Awareness Policy by going to: https://www.usg.edu/policymanual/section8/C224/#p8.2.18_personnel_conduct
Each day of EAW an abstract drawing representing the ethical word of the day will be featured in GHC Inform by Lillian Chesnut, a student of GHC who is majoring in computer science. Today’s ethical word of the day is Stewardship. We recognize that we hold the resources of the University System of Georgia in trust for the people of Georgia and that we must be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us.
All EAW activities may be found in the attached flyer. For additional information about EAW, go to ethics.highlands.edu.
