Professor Speaks on Holy Cross Mission in Business

On Tuesday, April 28th  the Student Government Association at Holy Cross joined up with the Women in Business Club to co-sponsor the first virtual Agape Latte via Zoom. This event featured Professor Kendy Hess, the Director of the Ciocca Center for Business, Ethics, and Society and the Brake Smith Associate Professor of Social Philosophy and Ethics at the College of the Holy Cross.

Students are encouraged to explore the role ethics play in business through their various studies, including the new minor in Business, Ethics, and Society as well as the Certificate Programs offered by the Ciocca Center. In this talk by Professor Hess, she examined the relationship between business and the Holy Cross mission of “men and women for and with others.”  She went on to discuss how those who seek to do so to ask questions, take time to be thoughtful, remain open, to form a community, and to make the best of every aspect of business.
