Support the Institute
The Rutland Institute for Ethics is appreciative for the various types of support it receives, and encourages those with a passion for ethics education and ethical leadership to consider giving the gift of time, talent, and/or treasure.
Time: We depend on our constituents to assist with the myriad of programs we run throughout the year. Our board meets twice a year and attend several other functions in support of the institute. Alumni are called upon to judge high school talent in our annual Ethics Case Competition, as well as speak in classes about the importance of ethics as it pertains to their discipline.
Talent: We depend on our constituents to help us identify present needs in the workplace to better prepare Clemson graduates for ethical decision-making in employment. Our advisory board members help our students to become better students through periodic interactions, mentoring, and curriculum input.
Treasure: The institute depends on the support of individuals and organizations that are like-minded in their passion for integrity. Contributions fall under the umbrella of the Clemson Fund and, as such, are tax deductible.
