Abstract
This essay presents an overview of one of the earliest ethics across the curriculum programs, designed specifically to enhance liberal arts teaching and research. The Dartmouth academic community has long had an emphasis on moral meaning-making, but the threads of that interest were varied and not connected to the mission of the college. The EATC program sought to integrate the mission and the educational objectives into the framework of ethics education as a necessary component of a robust liberal arts education. EATC at Dartmouth, now in its 15th year, has become a much sought after opportunity for faculty and staff.
