Watch Dr. Stephen Hicks, CEE’s Executive Director, interview Spring 2011 guest speaker Dr. Al Gini on critical tasks for leadership:

Rockford College Campus Intervarsity and the Secular Student Alliance will co-sponsor a symposium presenting different perspectives on this question.

Is life purposeless or meaningless without belief in a particular God or religion?

Without God, does that mean “anything goes”?

Does belief in a particular God or religion incline one to morality?  Does it matter which religion or God?

Tuesday, November 30th

Peterson Auditorium, STARR

All are welcome!

Great news via Stephen Hicks’s website: the Department of Philosophy at Rockford College announced a new minor track in Ethics.

The core courses include several sponsored by CEE: Introduction to Ethics, Biomedical Ethics, Sports Ethics, Business and Economic Ethics, Ethics and Entrepreneurship, and Ethical Theory. The department will also offer occasional special topics courses with a strong value component that can count toward the minor.

Take a look at the flyer for the Ethics minor here [PDF].

Congratulations to Khetsiwe Dlamini, who was the subject of an article the Rockford Register Star this week for her leadership in the Rockford College Student Government. Khetsiwe also made her mark in Dr. Stephen Hicks’s Entrepreneurship and Ethics course, in which she gave an excellent presentation of her case study on the entrepreneur Richard Branson. Watch a short video clip from her presentation here. Additionally, Khetsiwe was featured in the April 2009 issue of Kaizen.
