their exposure and confidence in the areas of business ethics
and social responsibility

moral courage to do "the hard right, as opposed to
the easy wrong"
- have the Institute act as a resource for the local, regional
and national business communities. The Institute’s
mission is, "To help students and other Xavier stakeholders
recognize and deal with ethical and values-related issues
in the workplace"
