Whether you lead a nonprofit organization, educational institution, faith community, or government agency, Moral Leadership in the Innovation Age will equip you with skills for ethical decision-making.

Learn how to navigate the complex ethical landscape of the 21st-century with an executive education program designed to fit a busy schedule: three, two-hour virtual sessions followed by four, in-person sessions at Teachers College, Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary (Union).

You’ll explore how timeless moral principles apply to contemporary challenges through a multifaith, non-denominational lens. The program examines how leaders can maintain moral integrity while navigating innovation, build inclusive communities, and address the ethical implications of emerging technologies.

Participants will:

  • Learn to bridge moral traditions with modern challenges, including artificial intelligence, digital ethics, social justice, and organizational transformation
  • Gain practical tools for ethical leadership
  • Engage in discussions about modern case studies
  • Join a network of values-driven leaders from a wide variety of career backgrounds

The hybrid format includes:

  • Virtual sessions on October 15, October 29, and December 3
  • In-person sessions November 16–19 at Teachers College, Columbia University

Developed by the Adult Learning and Leadership program at Teachers College, Columbia University and Union’s Technology, Innovation, and Digital Engagement Lab (TIDEL).
