These monthly luncheons provide an interdisciplinary forum for faculty, students, and staff to discuss relevant case studies that highlight ethical questions arising throughout the disciplines.

If you would like to attend the February 20 brownbag and would like us to supply a lunch, please e-mail Steven Swartzer at swartzer@unlserve.unl.edu by noon on Friday, February 15. Or, if you prefer to bring your own lunch, feel free to just show up.
