About the Institute for Ethics in Public Life

The institute was founded in 1999 on the idea that citizens should make
sound choices based on free speech and that those in public life should
lead in humility and govern for the public good.

The Institute for Ethics in Public Life is generously supported by gifts to
the Plattsburgh College Foundation. For more information about this
semester’s offerings, contact Michelle Ouellette, colloquy coordinator, at
michelle.ouellette at plattsburgh.edu. For further information about the
