2020 Faculty Stipends Announced
Ethics Across the Curriculum and Research Stipends Awarded to 19 CSULB Faculty
The Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership at California State University, Long Beach is providing students from academic majors as diverse as dance, finance, recreation and leisure studies, nursing, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and sociology with essential ethical decision-making tools before entering the workforce.
Through one of its key initiatives, Ethics Across the Curriculum, the Ukleja Center offers $3,000 stipends to faculty who integrate a 3-hour ethics module into their courses. By selecting recipients from 5 colleges – Arts, Business, Engineering, Health and Human Services, and Liberal Arts – the Ukleja Center is truly enhancing the integration of ethics across the campus. In addition, the center has begun offering $5,000 faculty stipends for original ethics research. Prior stipend recipients served on the two proposal review and selection committees chaired by Danny Paskin and Gwen Shaffer.
