Why?
Community
Social media promised to increase connections, but it’s failing. This community delivers. Here you will meet friends who share your work-ethic and together you will make an impact on hundreds of people who need you.
Professionalism
Getting the job done is easy, but getting it done right is something else. Immerse yourself in a community that rewards excellence, promotes creativity, and challenges its members to strive for perfection
Opportunity
When an interviewer asks you “tell me about a meaningful project you’ve worked on” you need an impressive answer. . . this is it. Be the person who seizes opportunity, not the one who lets it slip away.

“
The ethics bowl isn’t simply about helping students think abstractly about moral dilemmas, though that’s important. At its best, the bowl is really about enacting moments of personal and social transformation in the lives of actual, young people.
