The workshop, scheduled for Saturday, April 15, will cover the ethical dimensions of risk taking, career decisions, and balancing others' expectations with personal values. The workshop will use the ideas presented in these literary works to encourage participants to reflect on their experience in dealing with related issues in their own lives and discuss them with their peers. The workshops use literature in an interesting way to discuss personal ethical views. The Peterson fund also supports a business ethics workshop for MBA students in the fall. Uncommon Solutions, a business ethics consulting firm, will coordinate the program.
Space is limited so undergraduate students are encouraged to sign up quickly.
The location and time of the workshop are yet to be announced. The entire Haas community is invited to the annual State of the School Address on Friday, April 14. Dean Laura D'Andrea Tyson discuss the Haas School's plans and progress on a wide range of issues. Professor Severin Borenstein was quoted extensively last week in newspapers and on television on the increase in gasoline prices. Borenstein discussed OPEC, the effect on SUV sales, reduced competition in California gasoline markets, ideas for alleviating California's supply shortage, and the possibility of repealing gasoline taxes.
