The Barnhardt Seminar on Ethics and the World of Business provides a forum for informed discussion on current global business issues and their ethical and societal implications. The Barnhardt Seminar on Ethics is made possible by the William H. Barnhardt family to honor their father, a leading textile executive who embodied the highest standards of personal integrity and public morality.
The UNC Charlotte Civic Series presented by Bank of America includes three marquee lectures: the Chancellor's Speaker Series, the Barnhardt Seminar on Ethics and the TIAA Lecture; the series brings nationally recognized speakers to the University and greater Charlotte communities for thought-provoking conversations.
