Student leaders to explore the importance of ethics Sarah Roberts Daily Egyptian Leaders of SIUC's Registered Student Organizations will meet with faculty members early next month to probe the value of ethics at the annual Student Development Leadership Symposium. The seminar, presented each spring, focuses on a specific topic that impacts student leaders. This year's topic is one Student Development Coordinator Paulette Curkin believes is timely and will serve participants long after their college days. This year's symposium, presented on Feb. 10 at the Student Center, allows only 60 students to attend in an effort to keep discussions intimate and focused.
Registration is still open and operates on a first come, first serve basis.
However, no more than five people from one RSO will be accepted in order to maintain a diverse group. Paul Simon, director of the Public Policy Institute, will open the conference with a keynote address after which participants will break into discussion groups with philosophy students and faculty. Lawrence accepted his role in the conference in order to present his adamant view that leaders of any kind should be honest and ethical. Curkin stressed that not all learning takes place inside classrooms and that RSO leaders should take advantage of an opportunity to propel their organizations forward. Not everything is for self-gain.
