What You Need to Know About ETHICS Before You Get Your First Job
Michael Bugeja & Glenn Corlett
May 10th, 1999
Anderson Auditorium
In this hour-long multi-media presentation, Business School dean Glenn Corlett explains why companies are looking for applicants with clearly articulated ethics codes, and discuss how developing such a code and incorporating it into a resume can help first-time job seekers identify and land the positions best suited to their skills and interests. Journalism professor and special assistant to the president of Ohio University Michael Bugeja then walks students through the composition of a personal, professional, or corporate ethics code. The seminar includes design and formatting techniques for turning codes into “living documents” and features examples of innovative codes from past students.
“What You Need to Know About Ethics…” is held periodically on the Athens Campus of Ohio University.
Where's 'Safe'?

McCracken Hall 214
Where’s ‘Safe’? depicts the safety issues facing a Midwestern high-school student “coming out” in 1999. The event is as much a forum for public discussion as a performance: Audience members shape the event by engaging the characters and each other in an open reflection on the scenes played out in the performance.
The April 6 performance at the Ohio University School of Education was co-sponsored with the Institute for Democracy in Education and the Ohio University Cultural Studies in Education Program.

Power Plays: diversity, ethics, and the workplace: Bridging the Diversity Gap
Bridging the Diversity Gap project
October 12th, 1999
Morton Hall 223
POWER PLAYS is the story of a group of students whose winter term job turns sour when they decide they’re being discriminated against.
How the students respond to the situation and what happens in the end depends on advice provided by audience members during the course of the production.
The audience interaction looks at:
- how real/perceived diversity issues play a role in the job interviewing process and the workplace; and
- how to deal with the ethical dilemmas this potential/real discrimination creates.
The October 12 performance, part of Career Week 1999, was a production of the “Bridging the Diversity Gap” interactive theater troupe. This production was cosponsored by the Office of Career Development.
