2024 Ethics Awareness Week Events

spirit of USG, celebrating our ethical culture

November 4th - 8th is Ethics Awareness Week! The purpose of this week is to remind employees of our commitment to an ethical culture and our shared ethical values and expectations.  In support of this effort, Middle Georgia State University will be hosting activities to build upon our ethical culture by promoting activities related to our system-wide shared core values of integrity, excellence, accountability, and respect. We will emphasize that, in addition to our ethical values, our Code of Conduct is the foundation of the USG’s priorities of degree attainment, affordability and efficiency.

Activities during this week will bring awareness to ethics, reinforce the principles of recognizing the hard work of employees, and promote our shared values. Our theme for this week is the “SPIRIT of USG.” Activities planned will emphasize:
