Home page | Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics

The Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics' mission is to empower the ASU community and beyond in fostering ethical behavior that leads to positive outcomes in all aspects of life.

We believe ethics isn't just about thinking, it's about doing. As the ethics hub of the university, we support faculty, students and community members in designing and implementing ethical solutions.
