Students were charged with creating social change. Here are the results...

1. Business Ethics
Winter 2008

2. Introduction
 In business ethics, we spend substantial time examining
the “bads” of the corporate world, for example actions by
Enron, Arthur Anderson, and Tyco executives.
 As a contrast, students were charged with creating
“social good.”
 Students learned 1) what they, as individuals, without
financial resources, can do and 2) what might be
possible as they become members of, and leaders for,
powerful organizations, with resources!
 The following slides are excerpts from their
presentations.

choice
 “The Steps to a Healthier Washington program helps communities create
policies that make the healthy choice the easy choice.”
 According to the Health District, “physical inactivity, over weight and
obesity are associated with increased risk of diabetes, high blood
pressure, heart disease, asthma, and arthritis.”
 Students worked with the Okanogan Health District to conduct walkability
surveys.

more “walkable” and get people moving!
 Some of the challenges they found follow…

28. DRUG
AWARENESS
By Jarae, Isabel, Suesan

29. Project Overview
 Meth presentation to 6-8 grades at
Nespelem School
 presentation made by Gene Fenton
 Essay contest (and great prizes!)
 What would your community be like without drugs?
 1st place: PS2, 2nd place: IPod
 Survey to measure success
 Informational booklets on other drugs

30. Importance
 It is very important to speak and guide our young
people in a positive way.
 Children do not know the facts of drugs. They only
know what they see and what they hear from
friends and family.
 We are responsible for educating the youth around
us.
 Community benefits.

31. Meth Presentation

32. Assessment
 All understood the facts of Meth
 All were impacted
 All had a great experience with the presentation
 Targeting a small community isn’t exactly
impacting the entire world, but it is taking a
small chunk out of it.
 Making a positive impact on children is always
a success!
