Ethics Week 2026

This page last updated on: March 2, 2026

This year, Ethics Week at Baruch will take place March 16-21. An annual event since 2004, Ethics Week evolved from curricula in our three Schools that include emphases on ethical reasoning and/or decision-making. Generously supported by the Charles Dreifus Ethics-Across-the-Curriculum Initiative, the week typically features these components:

• classroom discussions led by instructors on issues related to their courses or disciplines;
• speakers invited to address classes;
• public workshops or presentations by invited guests;  and
• announcement of the student and faculty winners of the annual Abraham J. Briloff Prizes in Ethics.

Please consider organizing some of your class time during Ethics Week this spring around ethical issues as they relate to your subject or discipline—emphasis that falls naturally within our academic mission. We invite you to invite distinguished guests to speak that week—in your classes or in an event open to all. Modest stipends for speakers are available. Please contact Associate Provost Kathleen Gray <Kathleen.Gray@baruch.cuny.edu> as soon as possible if you are interested in inviting someone.
