Ethics Bowl
We Are Recruiting!
We are currently looking for new members to join our Ethics Bowl club!
We want thoughtful students who can work well with others to solve complex problems.
Unlike traditional debate, Ethics Bowl uses a collaborative case-analysis format to tackle the most pressing ethical challenges of the moment. We get a fresh set of cases to work on at the start of the fall and spring. These cases are written by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, which also hosts a national Ethics Bowl competition in the spring. (If you're curious, you can check out the cases here.)
Our goal this year is to send our undergraduate teams to the regional competition and to qualify for the national competition in Pittsburgh in March 2027.
Members of the club will be mentored by an Ethics Bowl veteran, Emily Alberty. Emily is a second-year graduate student in the philosophy department.
If you're interested in checking out the club, you can join the Ethics Bowl GroupMe or email Emily at @email.
The club meets weekly and there will be free pizza and free travel to the regional competition for members of our Ethics Bowl team.
Support Our Ethics Bowl Teams
We're currently raising funds to cover the cost of travel and competition for our undergraduate teams. If you are able to help with our fundraising efforts or Ethics Bowl coaching, we would love to bring you on board for this team effort! Contact us at ethicscenter@wmich.edu.
