Housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion, the Center for Professional and Personal Ethics (also known as the "CPPE") sponsors visits by nationally & internationally known speakers. Past visitors include Jeffrey Wigand, Mike Wallace, Coleen Rowley, Adam Penenberg, Don McCabe, Christopher Peterson, Ann Colby, Anya Kamenetz, Lindsay Hyde and Michael Strong. Students working with the Center have created an academic integrity handbook known by the CMU community as the CMU Redbook; have focused on voter education and help to educate their peers about how Michigan election law affects student voters; and produce a weekly internet radio show "Ethics Talk" which is focused on issues that are of particular interest to students. Among the topics that are discussed on ethics-talk are academic integrity, procrastination, and motivation. Ethics Talk is recorded and archived on itunes as are all of the lectures sponsored by the Center.
