Albany State highlights ethical culture through Ethics Awareness Week
ALBANY – Albany State University and the University System of Georgia are proud participants
of Ethics Awareness Week, Nov. 11-17. In support of this effort, ASU will host activities
to further promote a more ethical culture on campus.
Activities during the week will help bring awareness to the importance of an ethical culture and how it is critical to the success of institutions, employees, students, communities and how Georgia is educated.
