Lehigh University Undergraduate Ethics Symposium
Open to all undergraduates at Lehigh University
Ethical issues—about whether something is right or wrong, good or bad, just or unjust, harmful or helpful, worthy or unworthy, better or worse, appropriate or inappropriate—arise continually in every academic discipline and everyday life. Lehigh University’s Undergraduate Ethics Symposium offers students from all three colleges and all academic disciplines an opportunity to learn and engage in discussions with their peers about a variety of these issues. Students are encouraged to submit papers, presentations, posters, or other projects examining ethical issues in their fields, at college, or in today’s society, including issues concerning bioethics, business, technology, identity, the environment, social justice, engineering, medicine, science, race, gender, class, media, education, international relations, health, religion, societies and cultures, politics, college life, etc.
