Students' Reflections on
Moral Conflicts in College
|
The Journal of College and Character is asking college students to contribute short reflections on ethical issues or dilemmas they encounter during college. We are interested in what students think about such issues and what resources, either on or beyond the campus, they use in dealing with these ethical questions.
We are always seeking individual submissions, and we also welcome classroom instructors and sponsors of organizations to encourage their students to submit essays either individually or as responses to assignments or projects.
Editorial review of essays is ongoing. Essays should be around 2,000 to 2,500 words. Send your manuscript as a Microsoft Word attachment to Student Reflections Editor, Amanda Weldy (UCLA) at aweldy@ucla.edu
