Ethics Matters
May-June 2017
The 2017 Ethics in Action Student Video Competition was a huge success. This year, a total of 71 video entries were received from 19 college and universities, which surpasses last year’s record of 66 videos from 13 schools.
These videos generated more than 7,000 views and 1,100 viewer’s choice votes from individuals who watched students use their creativity to demonstrate how ethical dilemmas should and should not be handled in business. The NASBA Center for the Public Trust (CPT) is thrilled with the continued interest and support for these student videos.
The competition is sponsored by the Dean Institute for Corporate Governance and Integrity, which helped the CPT award more than $4,000 in cash prizes to 10 different teams of winners.
