Loyola University Chicago

In 1994 the Center for Ethics at Loyola University established a series of talks to be given by business and civic leaders from the Chicago area on ethical issues of contemporary importance. The mission of this series is to bring provocative ideas to an audience of prominent professionals, with the purpose of stimulating dialogue and encouraging a deeper understanding of ethical issues and ways to advance ethical behavior in the corporate sphere.

The invited speaker is ordinarily a leader from the corporate community or another important contributor to contemporary discussion of ethics in corporate and civic life. Four or five such speakers each year share their reflections on ethical issues that they have faced personally or that they believe are of pressing importance to the corporate and civic community. The audience consists of leaders from Chicago's corporate and policy communities, local business school faculty, and others interested in these important issues.

The event begins at 8:00 a.m. with a buffet breakfast. The speaker is introduced at about 8:30 and ordinarily speaks for 30-40 minutes, with another 20-30 minutes for questions and discussion with the audience. The formal program ends by 9:30 a.m. , although attendees often linger a while afterwards for further conversation.

All breakfasts are held in Kasbeer Hall, on the 15th floor of 25 E. Pearson on Loyola's Water Tower Campus.
Fee for admission includes a full breakfast, and costs $20 pre-registration, $25 at the door. Tables seating eight can be purchased for $125.
