Originally funded by the Class of ’48, the Academy's Ethics Forum provides the Corps of Cadets with a a full day of lectures, panels and small group dialogues on the topic of ethical situations in the Coast Guard and beyond. As future officers, cadets are schooled in the concepts of integrity and strength of character but this annual event allows for an immersion in thought-provoking discussions led by experts in a variety of disciplines.  The forum offers cadets the opportunity to engage in open, meaningful discourse on ethical challenges in areas such as academia, broadcasting, business, engineering, environment, finance, government, journalism, leadership, medicine, military, sports, terror management, and water resource management.  

The 23rd Annual Ethics Form will be held March 22nd through 24th, 2012.  

This event is coordinated and planned by Charlie Company Respect Department.
