Greetings, Ethics SIG Members:
We are pleased to announce that we will meet in person this year in conjunction with the American Academy of Optometry meeting in San Diego.
Please save the date for Thursday, October 27th, from 10:00 am-12:00 pm local time for the meeting. The location is TBD but request for space is in.
We’re looking for a small number of volunteers who would like to share any particular elements of their institution’s ethics program that they feel like has been well received by students and helped to convey your message on Ethics/Diversity/Bias etc. effectively.
Presentations on this particular part of your program can be relatively short, perhaps 10-15 minutes in length. Our SIG meeting will be two hours in length so we’re looking for perhaps 5-7 presenters.
The last part of the meeting will allow for some group discussion on some of the ideas presented as well as time to complete some other sig related business.
Please let us know if you’d like to be one of these presenters and the topic on which you’d like to present. We’re best reached at emothersbaugh@ico.edu and khelmu@midwestern.edu
Erik
P.S. At the close of this meeting I will end my term as Chair and Dr. Helmuth will take over for a two year term. We will look to appoint a new Vice-Chair, so please consider volunteering!
