Mission

The mission of the Ethics Center is to understand and promote ethical leadership across the curriculum and within communities. We are committed to the preparation of students for personal and professional integrity, citizenship, and ethical leadership. It is a mission committed to excellence, engagement, innovation, and responsiveness.

Vision

The Ethics Center will serve as the university's hub of research, evaluation, and practice for the ethical behaviors and thinking skills that students need as they enter their chosen professions. The university-wide Ethics Center will provide a forum for the promotion of ethics education and character development on the Fresno State campus and beyond.
