Gifts to Ethics Center Programs Have Lasting Impact

"My Hackworth Fellowship at the Markkula Center gave me the invaluable opportunity to lead debates and presentations on ethical issues within the law—an experience that continues to shape my professional life. The fellowship encouraged students to engage deeply with questions of justice, responsibility, and integrity in a thoughtful and open setting. Those conversations laid a foundation for the work I do today. The values reinforced by my Hackworth Fellowship—intellectual honesty, moral courage, and ethical reflection—remain central to my approach as a federal prosecutor."

"To be able to support those programs, to hear how much the Hackworth Fellowship has grown since I was there, makes me so happy. Not only am I thankful to have had the support to participate in the fellowship when I was in college, but I'm so, so honored and happy that I'm finally in a position to contribute, so tomorrow's students can have the same opportunities, because it left such a lasting mark on me."

~ Roujin Mozaffarimehr, ’08, JDMBA ’14, Immigration Attorney, Immicore Law, and a 2007-08 Hackworth Fellow

"Being able to get insight about what it's like to be a board member in the future, or the different ethical issues associated with politics were so valuable to me. But there's also a huge, huge, huge effort to understand the ethical  dilemmas around technology, especially as it's changing on campus -- and understanding  ethics, honesty, integrity, and their place in the workplace. To have that training early on allowed me to set the tempo for my career, and to find meaningful jobs in which I could do good and still support myself and my family."

"I would always talk about the Hackworth Fellowship as kind of a flagship part of my Santa Clara experience, where I had the opportunity to take on an independent project. This experience was very much about engaging and collaborating with the student body on hard ethical topics we were all experiencing. It was something that I promoted a lot as part of the story of my undergraduate experience. Whenever I shared my work with the Ethics Center, people were always very interested, in particular, because it was so unique, and  maybe different from the typical academic experience that most undergraduates have."

The important work done by the Ethics Center is, in part, made possible by the generous financial support of its donors.
