BUSINESS ETHICS SEMINAR SERIES OFFERED

March 1, 2001

A seminar series on business ethics, “Good Choices . . . Good Business,” is being offered by Coastal Carolina University’s E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration beginning in mid-March. The program is designed for area businesses.

Each seminar consists of four meeting sessions and will be held on consecutive Mondays and Wednesdays. The first sessions will be held March 19 and 21, and 26 and 28 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in Coastal’s Wall College of Business. A seminar series is limited to 20 participants. The fee is $200 per participant.

“Participants will learn the basis of ethical decision making, apply what they learn to actual cases in business, and discuss their own concerns about ethical business practices,” says Claudia McCollough, chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion and founder of the Business Ethics Program at Coastal. McCollough will lead the seminars.

The sessions will be repeated in April and May. Sessions in May will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Participants who successfully complete the seminar series will receive a certificate. Companies which have 75 percent employee participation will also receive a certificate. The Better Business Bureau will be notified of company involvement in the program.
