I am excited to report that our team from the University of Tampa finished in third-place today at the Southeast Regional Ethics Bowl debate competition, and will be heading to compete in the Nationals in March! For those of you who don't know about it, the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is an annual series of debate competitions where groups of undergraduate students face off on "hot topic" public ethical issues. It's a really great opportunity for students to learn about ethics and develop philosophical skills. This is our fourth year competing, and it's been really rewarding seeing my students grow. Seeing them in action today — and seeing how far they've come since they began — reminds me that we can make a difference as teachers. I encourage you all to look into participating with your students!

Congratulations! Ethics Bowl is a great opportunity for students and instructors alike. I’ve found that helping our team from UNC has improved my own approach to teaching, and it’s great to work with students who are interested in practical ethics. I hope we see you at Nationals!
