The Rutland Institute for Ethics has been a major partner in helping Clemson University achieve its mission by fostering young, ethical leaders on campus and beyond. Founded in 2001 by Robert Rutland, the Rutland Institute for Ethics strives to integrate ethics education and leadership into all Clemson University college curriculum. After years of dedicated work, we have reached Rutland’s 20th anniversary! In order to celebrate, we have set a goal to raise $100,000 to support ethics integration into Clemson’s community.
