Calling all UNC undergraduates interested in discussing and conducting team-based projects in ethics: We want you!

The Parr Center Ethics Fellow program is a selective co-curricular program for which students are chosen based on a written application and a personal interview with Parr Center staff. Criteria for selection are the student’s interest in deepening their ethical competencies through co-curricular enhancement and their potential contribution to team-based and project-based moral learning.

Fellows must participate in all required Fellow activities. The Ethics Fellow program kicks off each year with a full-day orientation/retreat with Parr Center staff, at which Fellows lead group activities. Next, fellows meet regularly as a body throughout the academic year to hear and discuss Fellow-focused lectures in which scholars from across UNC present research in ethics specifically to the Fellows. In addition, Fellows must attend a number of the Parr Center’s public lectures each year. After training with Parr Center staff, Ethics Fellows serve as moderators at the North Carolina and National High School Ethics Bowl competitions held on our campus each year. Finally, Fellows pursue team-based projects in ethics at the Parr Center throughout the academic year. They spend at least two hours per week working with their teams and are supervised closely by Parr Center staff. As an Ethics Fellow, students spend about 85 hours per year on these co-curricular activities at the Parr Center.
