LIED CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS, 3:30PM
Business students initiate new ethics code
Wall Street, Fortune 500 companies and businesses across the world continually discuss the importance of ethics in business. A group of University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business Administration students decided to stop talking and start doing, writing a new student ethics code.
"The Student Advisory Board initiated the idea of a new honor code for CBA students. They wanted it to be something our students could rally around that would give them an advantage in the job market," said Janice Lawrence, associate professor of accountancy and director of the college's business ethics program. Students plan an ethics code launch event beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the Lied Center for Performing Arts at UNL. Read more about this ethics code in Today@UNL.
Climate Masters to Spur Local Action to Reduce Emissions
Climate Masters of Nebraska, a new program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's School of Natural Resources, will share proven ways to act locally to save money, protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, say the organizers.
"When people hear about climate change, people think in terms of a global issue," said Tapan Pathak, Extension educator in climate variability, who is leading the project. "People get overwhelmed, and they think, 'What can I do?' This is an action-based program to help people understand what they can do that's good for people and for the environment."
