Mines Ethics Across Campus program is somewhat non-traditional: most universities have “Ethics Across the Curriculum,” which (obviously) focuses on classroom pedagogy and activities. Mines envisions the role of ethics somewhat differently; we strive to foster an atmosphere of integrity in all facets of campus life.

To that end, EAC sponsors and/or members are involved in

• evaluating and promoting Responsible Conduct of Research training
• revising the Mines Academic Misconduct procedure
• coaching the Mines Ethics Bowl Team (supporting team travel, also)
• the Institutional Membership in the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics
• the award for “Best Graduate Student Paper” at the APPE annual conference
• adding resources to the Daniels Fund Professional Ethics Library
• research on ethics pedagogies
• initiating the “Ask A Philosopher” tent

EAC is dedicated to cultivating a culture of both rigorous academic training and innovative activities and pedagogies. If you have suggestions for ways to improve the campus culture, feel free to contact us at  swoodson@mines.edu or qzhu@mines.edu.
