Student Opportunities
The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program offers many diverse opportunities for students to learn and apply ethics to their lives and future careers. Taking advantage these opportunities will help students build an impressive resume, express important values to future employers, and develop the tools needed to build lifelong personal and professional integrity.
Ethics OnSite
Ethics OnSite sends students to large corporations to learn how they handle ethical issues. In February 2024, we brought a group of 35 students to Chicago, IL to visit the Discover Customer Care Center. In October 2024, we brought a group of 19 students to Seattle, WA to visit T-Mobile Headquarters, Microsoft Headquarters, and Seattle University.
Case Competition
The DFEI National Case Competition exposes students to a thought-provoking business ethics case similar to a situation they might face in their professional careers. Student teams compete with teams from other schools to analyze, present, and respond to questions posed by a panel of judges.
