Centers

The Goodman Center for Leadership provides Whitman undergraduates with diverse opportunities to learn and practice essential leadership skills throughout their educational experiences at SU. The Goodman Center guides students to more effective and productive early career readiness. Student preparation, practice, and ethical awareness are the foci of the Goodman Center activities.

The Center for Ethics and Leadership was developed to instill in students a passion and understanding for best practices in business ethics and excellence in leadership. The center is dedicated to immersing the Whitman community — and the SU community at large — in a week of intense focus on ethical issues. The center’s annual Ethics Week provides for discussion on the important topics of ethics and leadership in today’s society. Events such as these are funded in part by the James S. Kemper Foundation, an independent, private foundation established to provide funding for higher education initiatives.

The Department of Management is also in the planning phases for two new academic reserach centers: The Corporate Governance and Leadership Center and the Diversity and Social Responsibility Center.
