As university leaders and managers, we take pride in our work, scholarship, and interactions, holding ourselves and others to high ethical standards as we pursue our strategic mission. Leading by example requires not only demonstrating integrity but also actively listening and showing that we care.

This week, we invite all university leaders and managers to deepen your understanding of the crucial role you play in fostering an ethical workplace. We encourage you to visit the Ethics Awareness Website, where you’ll discover learning pathways featuring videos, articles, and practical tips to enhance your listening skills.

Thank you to all members of the URI community for your commitment to an ethical University of Rhode Island, where our devotion to excellence and core values is strengthened by the practice of effective listening.
