About the M&I Marshall & Ilsley Center for Business Ethics
The M&I Marshall & Ilsley Center for Business Ethics supports the enhancement of the business curriculum, faculty development grants, an M&I Marshall & Ilsley Executive-in-Residence in Business Ethics, visiting scholars in ethics and leadership, the M&I Marshall & Ilsley Business Ethics Speaker Series, and a new lecture series for students – Great Journeys: An Inspirational Series. The Great Journeys series features “role model” business leaders speaking from their life and career experiences, emphasizing the values of business integrity, ethics, and social responsibility. In making the $1 million gift that made the center possible, Dennis J.
