Ethical Leadership Certification Program
The Ethical Leadership Certification Program (ELCP) is designed to help students identify and overcome ethical issues that young professionals will face. The program consists of six one-hour modules, an interactive case study, and comprehensive final exam. This online tool features “What Would You Do” polls, real life scenarios and interviews with ethics experts.
Check with your institution on available scholarships for sponsorship funds set aside for ethics-related programming. Learn more about the ELCP and pricing here: https://learning.thecpt.org/.
Ethics in Action Video Competition
Each year, students from around the country submit either a short-film or commercial video showing the CPT what they know about ethics, ethical leadership and ethical dilemmas with the chance to win up to $1,000. This program is open to StudentCPT and non-StudentCPT affiliated schools. Check out the rules, how to enter, and last year’s competition winners here: https://www.studentcpt.org/videocompetition/thevideo/.
Campus Being a Difference Awards
Each school year, the StudentCPT will honor one student and one faculty member on each chapter’s campus who positively impacts their school by displaying strong, ethical leadership. If you know a faculty member or student worthy of the award, reach out to your local StudentCPT chapter, or submit a nomination here: https://www.studentcpt.org/award/.
StudentCPT Leadership Conference
This in-person conference focuses on character development, chapter development and (of course) leadership training! Each summer, the CPT hosts the StudentCPT Leadership Conference (SLC) in conjunction with a NASBA Regional Meeting. This two-and-a-half-day conference also allows students to network with other leaders and NASBA conference attendees. Full scholarships are available to attendees thanks to generous donations made to the CPT.
The 2024 SLC will be held June 4-6, 2024, in Louisville, KY. Contact [email protected] with your two student nominees by April 30, 2024.
