Five students from Marymount University participated in the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges\u2019 (VFIC)<\/a> 23rd<\/sup> annual statewide collegiate Ethics Bowl last weekend, deliberating on \u201cEthics and Digital Media\u201d on the campus of Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach, Va.<\/p>\n

The Marymount team \u2013 featuring senior Adalie Shotton, juniors Natalia Ivanauskas and Agnes-Laure Signou and sophomores Ella Reither and Melody Salguero \u2013 competed head-to-head against other student teams from Virginia\u2019s leading independent colleges and universities on a variety of case studies. The Saints were led by faculty coordinator Dr. Daniel Corrigan<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Philosophy<\/a> at Marymount and Interim Director of the University\u2019s Center for Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many notable individuals from a variety of career fields that include business, education, finance, journalism, law and others listened to team presentations and offered reactions to the students\u2019 presentations. Marymount faced off against other teams in four matches over the course of two days, losing the first two rounds on Sunday but rebounding on Monday morning to conclude the event with two victories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the theme of this year\u2019s Ethics Bowl competition was \u2018Ethics and Digital Media,\u2019 the cases that we debated connected digital media with issues in business, health care and criminal justice, among others,\u201d Dr. Corrigan said. \u201cSome of our team members have more knowledge in certain areas, depending on whether they are an IT<\/a>, Criminal Justice<\/a> or Business<\/a> major, and I was delighted to see individual team members step up and draw on their expertise when a particular debate called for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Corrigan also credited Marymount\u2019s success in the competition to Professor Donald Lavanty<\/a> from Marymount\u2019s College of BILT<\/a>, who assisted in coaching the team prior to the competition through advice and feedback during each practice session.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really impressed with the perseverance and development our team displayed over the course of the competition,\u201d Dr. Corrigan added. \u201cWhile we lost to other teams in the first two rounds, our team members never gave up and kept trying their best. They learned from their experiences in the earlier rounds and incorporated new strategies that allowed them to win in both the third and fourth rounds. I was very proud of our team and the growth they showed during the competition.\u201d <\/p>\n

Marymount\u2019s student participants in the Ethics Bowl walked away from the experience with a sense of satisfaction and optimism for next year\u2019s competition, with four of the five team members eligible to return in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring our time at the VFIC\u2019s Ethics Bowl, we had the opportunity as a team to further develop our communication, critical thinking and reasoning skills. We significantly improved upon these qualities as we progressed through each round of the competition,\u201d Ivanauskas said. \u201cOverall, in addition to the educational benefits that we gained through our participation, this event was entertaining and enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ethics Bowl has been one of my favorite experiences since coming to Marymount University. Our team took a lot of time to prepare, and it definitely paid off,\u201d Reither added. \u201cWe all communicated very well during the competition, and were complimented on our teamwork and organization multiple times. I really appreciated that the Ethics Bowl reinforced communication skills, quick thinking and defending arguments. My entire team was already excited to think about next year!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, established in 1952, aims to advance the distinctive values and strengths of the 16 colleges and universities across Virginia that make up its consortium.<\/p>\n
