During the past year and a half, corporate headlines have repeatedly surprised,
frightened, and disturbed the American public. The continuum of news stories about
Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and many others has focused attention on corruption, greed, and
malfeasance. People have been left wondering where these corporate misdeeds and scandals
began and whether there is an end in sight.
What are the lessons learned from these headlines and, more importantly, how
instructive are these stories for understanding corporate responsibility and business ethics?
John Dienhart, Ph.D.,
Seattle University, is coming to Central Washington University to
present the College of Business Lecture titled, "From Enron to Ethics: Corporate Ethics
Programs - Trends and Opportunities." The lecture is Thursday, May 8 at 1:00pm in Shaw-Smyser
115. The lecture will be transmitted via Distance Education to all CWU DE sites.
The lecture is sponsored through funds provided by Fritz and Joan Glover who share a commitment
to education and an interest in advancing the discussion on campus about business ethics and
corporate responsibility.

The lecture is Monday, May 12 at 11:00am in Shaw-Smyser 115. The lecture will be transmitted
