Westminster Honored for Ethics in Education by Sugar House Rotary Club

SALT LAKE CITY – At a ceremony celebrating the Sugar House Rotary Club’s 75th birthday, Westminster College was honored with the Ethics in Education Award on May 6. President Michael Bassis accepted the award presented at the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

The Ethics in Education award is given for achievement of high ethical standards as a core value in education.

“We are honored to accept this award from the Rotary Club of Sugar House,” explained Bassis. “High ethical standards are among the core values of the entire Westminster campus community. Additionally, global consciousness, social responsibility and ethical awareness are all part of the college-wide learning goals we have established for our students. We believe these attributes are the keys to success in our ever-changing world.”

While the Rotary Club of Sugar House has served the community for more than 75 years, Westminster celebrated its 100th year in the neighborhood in January 2011.
