Student Center for the Public Trust (StudentCPT) Club
The StudentCPT is a national network of college students who demonstrate a commitment to ethical leadership. Tiers are hosted on college campuses across the country, which provide students with opportunities to participate in training sessions, conferences, community service and business ethics competitions. StudentCPT tiers are supported by the NASBA Center for the Public Trust (NASBA CPT), which is based out of Nashville, TN.
We are a local chapter of the StudentCPT and we invite undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in applied business ethics to participate.
