Congratulations to the University of Baltimore’s Ethics Bowl team for qualifying for the National Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl after finishing in the top five at the Southeast Regional Ethics Bowl last weekend in St. Petersburg, FL. “This is the first time a UB team has qualified,” said Fred Guy, director of UB’s Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics and the team’s faculty coach. “We beat out such schools as Wake Forest, University of Florida, Auburn University, University of Miami, and 15 other larger universities.” The team will go on to compete at the Twentieth Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl on February 21, which is part of the 2016 Association for Practical and Professional Ethics 25th Annual Conference in Reston, VA (just outside of Washington, DC).

The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is an undergraduate team competition that combines the excitement and fun of a competitive tournament with an innovative approach to education in practical and professional ethics. The UB team will compete against teams from colleges and universities across the United States and throughout the world who also qualified for the national competition by winning a regional ethics bowl.
