Ethics Institute

Ethics Institute Board 2010

        The Ethics Institute was established in 1987 by Sister Siena Finley, RSM, and a group of community professionals and leaders from the Wyoming Valley who wished to foster more dialogue on ethical issues affecting the region. It is an institution directed by 15 regional leaders and educators who are committed to the discussion of ethical issues both theoretical and practical. The institute encourages responsible ethical action through informed rational deliberation, and it facilitates this process in the academic community as well as in the community at large through special workshops and forums. The institute also bestows the Sister Siena Finley Ethics Award upon a person or organization that has demonstrated exemplary ethical behavior in their personal, civic and/or professional life during its annual dinner in October.  

     The Ethics Institute of Northeastern Pennsylvania at Misericordia University is pleased to announce this year’s recipients of the Sister Siena Finley Ethics Award to be honored at its 18th Annual Dinner are:
