NASBA Center For Public Trust 
The new year is upon us and as the spring semester beings, we must remember the role ethics play in both the classroom and professional settings. The purpose of the Student Center for the Public Trust (StudentCPT) is to provide educational meetings and activities to enhance students’ understanding of business ethics. It is important to help students understand how to apply ethical business practices and leadership principles to their lives. When we provide students with resources to host events, this supports their development as ethical leaders. The connection between students, business professionals and other student leaders promotes ethical leadership on college campuses and in the community.
Here are a few points that can be applied with the support of the StudentCPT:
- Enhance growth and marketability – Students will be able to grow their knowledge of ethical leadership principles and use this knowledge as a platform to communicate this interest to potential employers.
- Immediate application of learning – Students will engage in training sessions with speakers, who will help them better understand how to uphold their values on campus and in the workplace.
- Increased opportunities – Students will have opportunities to interact with ethical leaders and enhance their strategic networking skills.
- Leading leaders – Students will have the opportunity to interact with other student leaders from across the country and work collaboratively to enhance each other’s learning experiences.
- Financial growth – Students will be able to generate funds for themselves or their chapters through ethics competitions.
