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 Oklahoma Attorney
General Gentner Drummond. 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.
