IN THEIR OWN WORDS...

“The instructor will have you come out of his class smarter than when you walked in and that is a WIN-WIN!”

~ Cultural Sociology Student

“I have taken multiple other ethics courses in my career and this was definitely the most beneficial.  It focuses more on learning about a basic ethical decision-making framework and how your own values affect your professional and personal life.”

~ Ethics in Motion Student

“Above and beyond the important content shared in this class, meeting and collaborating with other state employees was an added bonus!” 

 ~ Effective Communications Student

​

“The instructor gave me different perspective and insight which will be helpful at work and outside of work.”

~ Organizational Psychology: Leadership Student

“... I feel you pushed us outside of our comfort zones and allowed us each to grow individually. I have learned so much from you, this course, and my fellow classmates that I will take with me and grow from here.”

~ Effective Communications Student
