Puterbaugh series
Leaders share with students
Hosted annually by the Center for Legal Studies & Business Ethics, the Puterbaugh Ethics Lecture series brings to the Stillwater campus speakers like Geoffrey Standing Bear, principal chief of the Osage Nation. The series provides students with the opportunity to meet with leaders who share their stories about ethical challenges they face in their field and in society.
Conversation series
Join the discussion
Each year, the CLSBE invites to campus leaders in law and industry to engage in a conversation with our students about what ethical leadership means to them. This interactive event brings together leaders like former governors Frank Keating and Brad Henry and Spears School Dean James Payne. The series provides opportunities for students to drive the conversation while leaders share their wisdom and experience.
