The Parr Center for Ethics is proud to have served as the public face of UNC’s commitment to ethics and as Carolina’s focal point for inquiry into and discussion of ethical questions since 2004. The mission of the Parr Center is to nourish and foster ethical reflection on campus and beyond; the Center is committed to integrating abstract work in ethical theory with thoughtful, informed exploration of ethical issues important to the University and the communities it serves.
In service of its mission, the Parr Center:
- offers rewarding co-curricular programs for Carolina students;
- brings numerous renowned speakers to campus;
- produces and is the national headquarters of the National High School Ethics Bowl program; and
- leads numerous ethics outreach activities across the Triangle.
