Arthur W. Page Center awards 15 grants to support ethical communication

The Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication at Penn State has awarded 15 grants and named 20 communication researchers and teachers from around the world as recipients for 2013-14 as they focus on research and teaching related to ethical communication. The awards total $79,343.

Ten of the grants are for research projects and five are for the development of teaching modules designed to help students take advantage of the wealth of materials about ethical communication available through the center’s website. The lesson plans and guides from the teaching modules will be available for use by teachers.

“The Page Center, since its inception, has established itself as a world leader in research into communication ethics,” said Marie Hardin, director of the Page Center, a research unit housed in the College of Communications. “We are delighted with the proposals we received this year and look forward to seeing the outcomes of these scholarly efforts.

“In the last two years we have added awards for the design of teaching modules on communications ethics issues. These are available for use by college professors anywhere.”
