Highlighting an Ethical Culture

The University System of Georgia (USG) is highlighting its commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct through its annual Ethics Awareness Week, scheduled this year for November 7-13. The purpose of this week is to remind the USG community of its commitment to an ethical culture, which is why the College of Coastal Georgia will host activities throughout the week to promote the shared core values of integrity, excellence, accountability, and respect. The theme for the week is “Spirit of USG.”

Promoting an ethical culture is very important to the success of not only the USG institutions, but employees, students, and ultimately how the people of Georgia are educated. Coastal Georgia will join the other 25 USG institutions in bringing awareness to this important issue with the following events:
