Ethics Week Activities
Celebrating Our Ethical Culture
The University System of Georgia (USG) is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethics and professionalism in its mission to generate knowledge. Achieving this mission requires integrity, sound judgment, and a strong commitment to public service from every member of the USG community. To highlight this commitment, USG annually observes Ethics Awareness Week, which will take place this year from November 2-8, 2026. The purpose of this week is to remind all employees of our collective dedication to an ethical culture and the shared values and expectations we uphold. USG Kickoff Video transcript
