Led by their faculty coordinator, Dr. Matthew Shadle, they competed head-to-head against other student teams from Virginia\u0092s 15 leading independent colleges and universities, deliberating a variety of case studies highlighting ethical dilemmas. Professionals from a variety of career fields including business, education, finance, law, journalism and others listened to team presentations and offered their feedback.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093The Ethics Bowl is a great experience for students because it gives them an opportunity to work together as a team and think critically about important ethical issues we face as professionals and citizens,\u0094 Dr. Shadle said. \u0093It provides students with skills they will need as they move on from Marymount.\u0094<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDuring the Ethics Bowl tournament, the Marymount team won three matches and lost one \u0096 enough to tie for first place in its division. However, it failed to advance due to a tiebreaker with Hampden-Sydney College, which was based on strength of schedule. Hampden-Sydney would go on to lose to Virginia Wesleyan University in the championship match.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDespite the ultimate outcome, team members left Lynchburg with confidence and pride after their strong showing.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093My participation in the Ethics Bowl is something that made me a stronger student and speaker,\u0094 explained freshman Julianna Cameron. \u0093I have debated before, but the Ethics Bowl challenged me in new ways. I had less time to think, less time to prepare \u0096 it was all on the spot. I think that experience allowed me to further my skills in speaking, arguing and collaborating \u0096 skills that I believe will help me in my everyday life.\u0094<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093I have been competing in the Ethics Bowl for the last three years. I have learned so much about teamwork, argumentation and ethics in preparation for and during the actual event,\u0094 added senior Cate Tesmer. \u0093We had a great chance to win this year, and while we didn\u0092t make it to the Finals, I am confident our team will have success next year because they are all very talented.\u0094<\/p>\n<p><em>Select photos courtesy of John McCormick\/University of Lynchburg.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five students from Marymount University participated in the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges\u0092 (VFIC) 21st annual statewide collegiate Wells Fargo Ethics Bowl earlier this month in Lynchburg, Va. \u00a0 The Marymount team consisted of seniors Gina Fendley and Cate Tesmer, junior Luis Ferre, sophomore Rose Fischer and freshman Julianna Cameron.
