Imagining ethical futures for
innovation.
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.

Join a student community of practice
Do you like doing projects that matter with people who share your curiosity? The Humanities Lab and Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics invite all students to join a Student Community of Practice. Over the semester, students will create projects driven by their interests while exploring civic virtues such as intellectual humility, kindness, open-mindedness, and empathy.
