What are the anchors of an ethical life? In this informative talk, ethics maven Catharyn Baird explores the roots of how we think of an ethical life, and how to use them to build strong communities.

Catharyn is the founder and CEO of EthicsGame, and professor of business, emeritus, at Regis University in Denver. Catharyn’s research on meta-ethics resulted in the development in 2009 with co-author Jeannine Niacaris of the foundation for a suite of web-based ethics learning tools. Since the launch of EthicsGame in fall of 2005, its learning tools have been used by more than 200 universities and currently reaches more than 3,000 learners a month. The EthicsGame products are based on Catharyn’s pioneering work in business ethics during her 23 years on the faculty at Regis University. Committed to developing a web-based ethics program that was pedagogically sound and followed a developmental approach to ethics education, she developed a unique method of teaching ethics. Catharyn was the first woman to receive the title of full professor in the Division of Business at Regis. In 2000 she was named Regis University Faculty Lecturer of the Year.
