The Professional Ethics Program, developed by Kerry Landers, Assistant Dean of Graduate Student Affairs at Dartmouth College, aims to address complex ethical issues that graduate students face. Through partnership with the Ethics Institute, this program provides a foundation for understanding professionalism, mentoring, data collection, and authorship. Workshops feature case studies, such as the Case of Professor Crabapple, fostering proactive discussions on ethical scenarios. Feedback indicates improved awareness of ethical responsibilities and a growing sense of community among students.

  1. Required Professional Ethics Program for First Year Graduate Students Kerry Landers Assistant Dean Graduate Student Affairs Dartmouth College kerry.landers@dartmouth.edu KHL

  2. The Need for a Professional Ethics Program • Complex issues facing graduate students. • Take proactive approach to address increase in student misconduct issues. • Increase competitiveness with funding agencies. KHL

  3. Development of Program • Collaborated with Ethics Institute at Dartmouth. • Faculty buy-in to make requirement. • Orientation program sets tone and community building event. • Trained facilitators in case method approach on four areas: Professionalism, Mentoring, Data Collection, and Authorship. KHL

  4. Case Example Case of Professor Crabapple • What are the issues here? • How could a professor positively engage a struggling student? • What should the student do in this situation? • Should the student confront the faculty member? KHL

  5. Assessment Weaknesses • Existing cases do not address all fields. • Some students express that the program is a waste of their time. Strengths • A majority of graduate students surveyed reported a clearer understanding of their ethical responsibilities. • Tracking of honor code violations over time suggests a decline after implementation of the program. • Helps build a stronger sense of community among graduate students. KHL

  6. Feedback From a student: …I think the discussions that took place in these workshops were really useful in that they brought out a lot of issues I had never thought of before such as the appropriate use of information from a paper that you have been sent for peer review. I’m happy that I got to discuss some of these issues early in my graduate career, rather than learning them on the fly and making mistakes that could be damaging to my career. From a faculty member: In addition to providing a needed venue to discuss varied aspects of professional ethics, the sessions have turned out to be an ideal format for frank discussions about tradecraft, finding appropriate grants, dealing with recalcitrant reviewers or editors, and identifying the subtle differences among journals.
