What are we working for? That question sits at the center of the fifth annual Midwest Ethics Symposium, taking place April 13-15, 2027, at the Prindle Institute for Ethics in Greencastle, Indiana.
This year’s theme, Work, Productivity, and Meaning, brings together researchers, professionals and students to grapple with ethical questions about the future of work, the value of productivity and the ways work can contribute to or detract from a meaningful life.
Just before the symposium, the Prindle Institute will also host a Conference on Career Education, co-hosted by DePauw University and Denison University. This practical conference brings together faculty and career services professionals to learn from one another about how we advise college students to think about their future working lives, and about the decisions they make in college that shape that future.
The Midwest Ethics Symposium is free and open to the public. Attendees from outside the DePauw University community are asked to register in advance. We look forward to welcoming you to the conversation.
