The UNG Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl Team will compete in Costa Mesa, California, on Feb. 22 during the national competition, part of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics 24th Annual Meeting.
DAHLONEGA - The University of North Georgia's (UNG) Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl team, sponsored by the Mike Cottrell College of Business and its BB&T Center for Ethical Business Leadership, was named a semifinalist at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Ethics Bowl Nov. 15 at Clemson University.<br />
<br />
The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is a team competition for undergraduate students that provides valuable experience in the areas of practical and professional ethics. University teams from the U.S. and Canada compete in 10 Regional Ethics Bowl competitions each fall. During the competition, teams argue and defend their moral assessment of ethical issues facing society today. Thirty-two teams then are invited from Regional Ethics Bowls for a final competition in the spring.<br />
<br />
"Our teams did an incredible job at this year's competition," said Rose Procter, director of the BB&T Center for Ethical Business Leadership and co-coach of the UNG Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl Team. "They prepared for weeks, reviewing the various cases that could be presented and determining and defending their ethical assessment of each case."<br />

UNG sponsored two teams that competed against 14 other universities, including Clemson University, Dartmouth University, 2014 national winner University of Maryland, and University of North Carolina
