About Us

The Poe Center is composed of a large number of people from diverse backgrounds. The administration believes that business ethics should be a core part of business instruction. The faculty dedicates a significant amount of time and energy to activities that further ethics education such as ethics research and ethics courses, and by exposing students to speakers from a variety of professions who address ethical issues from many points of view.

Students make up the Poe Fellows, the Franklin Fellows, and the Poe Ethics Team, and the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE).

Students' commitment to learning about, discussing, debating, and integrating business ethics into who they want to be as business professionals is central to the existence of the Poe Center for Business Ethics.

The students who engage in the Poe Center activities have shown passion for business ethics. We hope that these students will make a positive impact in the business world through their increased awareness of ethical issues and desire to stay true to their ethical compasses.

We appreciate the Poe family's vision for a higher level of ethics instruction here at the University of Florida and their generous support that has allowed the Poe Center to reach so many people.
