Educational Initiatives

The Edna Davis Hobbs California Student Leadership Institute

The Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership launched its signature program in 2006. The Edna Davis Hobbs California Student Leadership Institute is designed to equip students with the transformational power of ethical leadership. Class participants have an opportunity to explore ethical issues related to business, government, education, media, healthcare, athletics, and other professional fields. The program enables participants to discover their core values and build a strong ethical foundation upon which future decisions can be made. Teamwork, community service, and networking with guest speakers are an integral part of the program, which is held both on and off campus.

Community service projects have included:

Volunteering at the California Youth Authority to provide inmates with training on college applications and job interviewing skills upon their release.
Volunteering at Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times by creating workshops for young cancer patients at this family camp.

Ethics Across the Curriculum

One of the goals of the Ukleja Center is to encourage the multidisciplinary infusion of ethics into the university curriculum. The Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership offers an annual Ethics across the Curriculum initiative, which financially supports the infusion of ethics and ethical leadership in undergraduate and graduate courses throughout the university. CSULB faculty members are invited to apply for teaching stipends each fall.
