Dear Friend,
In this season of celebration, we’re especially happy to be marking the 30th anniversary of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. In this newsletter, we’ll share some of our accomplishments—from the Center’s beginnings as a campus-focused institution to our current array of programs serving the University, Silicon Valley, and the larger world. We hope you share our conviction that these efforts have impact and that you will take a moment to make a gift to the Center. Happy holidays to you and yours!

| Our 2015-16 commemorative annual report highlights the Center's 30 years of growth and influence, from the vision of seed funders Linda and A.C. "Mike" Markkula Jr. in 1986, to our reach today as one of the most sophisticated ethics centers in the world. While our foundational programs such as Business Ethics, Bioethics, and Character Education remain core to our mission, new initiatives such as the Trust Project in digital jourmalism ethics and our program in Social Sector Ethics have made the Center an even more vital resource for students, faculty, and community members in Silicon Valley and beyond.
