Stake Holder Events

The Ethics Center regularly sponsors stake-holder events, which typically involve a local group of 40-50 individuals along with a distinguished visiting leader in ethics. Past events have included Thomas Murray, President of the Hastings Center, and William Hurlbut, Professor of Medicine at Stanford and member of the President's Council on Bioethics.

Focus Groups

In order to assess the needs of our local community and also to develop local communities of individuals who share a particular interest in ethics, science and technology (i.e., religious leaders, health care personnel), we hold periodic focus groups that are devoted to the conjunction of ethics, science, and technology.
