Roundtable Notes
Sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina
Headlines and stories abound based on honor and dishonor, ethical and unethical decisions and resulting outcomes. Honor, duty, and respect are the core values of
The Citadel and each term is defined to ensure continuity and clarity. Throughout the Principled Leadership Symposium, terms like ethics, moral
courage, and internal compass will be used by speakers, panelists, and delegates. The space below will allow you to think about these words and how they apply to
you, both professionally and personally.
Define the term “ethics” and its importance in your life:
What do you hope to gain from the symposium, and how might the topic of ethics change your perspective from listening and interacting with others?
After reviewing the program, what presentation or speaker sounds most interesting? Why?
Given the opportunity, what would you ask or discuss with the presenter or speaker?

Choose One Session to Attend Crime Scene Reconstruction: How Ferguson, Missouri became a
Crucible in Public Service Leadership (Buyer Auditorium) **
On the Morning of August 9th, 2014, Michael Brown was fatally shot by Ferguson
Police Officer Darren Wilson. Although a tragic incident that ended with the death
of an 18 year old, it would quickly became a catalyst for far deeper community issues.
Visiting Professor Ed Lugo, with the support of the Criminal Justice department and
in conjunction with the Krause Center, will reconstruct the crime scene and events
that occurred in Ferguson, Missouri. The exhibit will be on display starting Friday
morning in Buyer Auditorium. The focus of the exhibit will be to discuss from a
point of intellectual honesty, key issues concerning the actual crime scene and public
service leadership responsibilities to include understanding community reaction.
Cadets and guests will visually experience and discuss the magnitude of the scene
and the volatility of the situation. The exhibit is intended to be an intimate
leadership learning experience. Scene reconstruction and discussion will be based on
evidence, images and witness statements as presented to the Ferguson grand jury.
With over twenty five years of federal criminal investigative and administration
experience, Lugo concentrates on utilizing science, logic and the law when teaching
cadets committed to public service.
**Due to limited space, this session is not open to the public.

Choose One Session to Attend

consequences of using torture in detainee interrogation. Mr. Mora serves as a Senior
Fellow at The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard’s Kennedy School of

at Abu Ghraib Prison. He currently lectures on this subject at colleges and universities
around the country as well as at the U.S. Senior Service Colleges.
Leading with Character: The Lessons from Ferguson (Knob Lounge) In this
session, Law School Dean Joan Vestrand will explore with the audience the role of
character in the events in Ferguson and what the incident teaches us as future leaders
interested in affecting positive social change. Dean Vestrand will introduce a different
approach for tackling difficult social problems - one that seeks to identify root issues and to
repair human relationships, in stark contrast to our current punishment-based
system. The audience will consider with Dean Vestrand whether, as future leaders of
character, there isn't a better way. Joan Vestrand is the Associate Dean of Western
Michigan University Cooley Law School's Auburn Hills campus and teaches Personal and
Professional Responsibility.
Ethics in Global Outreach Programs (MCH 230) In this session, clinical research
psychologist Dr. Cynthia Swenson will look at cross-cultural outreach and collaboration,
which require particularly sensitive and sophisticated ethical reasoning and leadership.
Dr. Swenson’s long-term partnerships with challenged communities in the United States and
Ghana, along with her psychological expertise in multi-systemic intervention, make her the
perfect person to guide participants through logistical and ethical issues surrounding
cross-cultural work. Illustrations and case studies from Project OKURASE: (Opportunity,
Knowledge, Understanding, Renewed Health, Arts-Based, Skills Training and Education), a
community development and health project in a rural village in Ghana, West Africa, will
make this a particularly rich and engaging session.
