Students' Reflections on
Moral Conflicts in College
The Journal of College and Character is asking college students to share their reflections on ethical issues they encounter during college. Students are invited to contribute short essays and reflections in response to current ethical dilemmas on campus. We are interested in what students think about these issues and what resources (on and/or beyond the campus) they use in dealing with these ethical questions. We would like individuals to write to us, and we also welcome classroom instructors and sponsors of organizations to encourage their students to submit either individually or as a response to assignments, projects, etc.

Editorial review of essays is ongoing, so there is no deadline. Essays should be around 2,000 to 2,500 words. Send your manuscript as a Microsoft Word attachment to Pam Crosby, at jcc@naspa.org
