Ethics Awareness Week Activities

Ethics Awareness Week 2023
We are all Winners with an Ethical Culture!
November 6–10

The University System of Georgia (USG) and Columbus State University are committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct. This commitment is highlighted through Ethics Awareness Week.

In support of this effort, CSU will be hosting activities to build upon our ethical culture by promoting activities related to our system-wide shared core values of integrity, excellence, accountability, and respect.

Each day, the LAEC team will raffle a daily prize — your attendance at each in-person or virtual event is your entry. Each entry also qualifies employees and students for the grand prize drawing which will take place on November 10th!
