Penn State To Host Sports Ethics Conference

The Penn State Center for the Study of Sports in Society will host a conference on sports ethics this April.

Two sessions will be held, with the first on April 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the second on April 7 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will be held in the Bennett Pierce Living Center (110 Henderson Building) and in the courtroom of the Lewis Katz Building. A schedule of events for the conference can be found here; a more detailed schedule will be released closer to the date of the conference.

The conferences, which are co-sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Health and Human Development, and the Rock Ethics institute, will feature sports practitioners, administrators, and sports ethicists from Penn State and other universities covering important ethical issues seen in sports today — athlete role modeling, the commercialization of sports, and the environmental impact of sporting events among others.

During the conference, the winner of a student-essay contest about arising ethical issues in the field will be announced.

About the Author

Mikey Mandarino

In the most upsetting turn of events, Mikey graduated from Penn State with a digital & print journalism degree in the spring of 2020. He covered Penn State football and served as an editor for Onward State from 2018 until his graduation. Mikey is from Bedminster, New Jersey, so naturally, he spends lots of time yelling about all the best things his home state has to offer. Mikey also loves to play golf, but he sucks at it because golf is really hard. If you, for some reason, feel compelled to see what Mikey has to say on the internet, follow him on Twitter @Mikey_Mandarino. You can also get in touch with Mikey via his big-boy email address: [email protected]
