Success Seminar
On Wednesday, join Business Ethics Professor Corey Ciocchetti for the first in a series of Second Year Success Seminars titled “Your Character Counts!”
You better believe that your character counts! In fact, an authentically successful life – a life filled with contentment and strong personal relationships – must be built upon a firm foundation comprised primarily of a solid character.
With this in mind, it is crucial for young adults to seriously consider this character development process during their college years. How can you create such a solid character? This initial DU Success Seminar will put you on the right course.
We will discuss character from the perspective of ethics, virtues and the Golden Rule. You will leave with a strong impression that your character counts and that it counts right now! The free event will be in Lindsey Auditorium from 6 to 7 p.m. Dinner is provided for attendees.
Introduction to Buddhism
Always wanted to know more about Eastern philosophy and Buddhism? Or just curious and want to find out?
