Donors
The important work done by the Ethics Center is, in part, made possible by the generous financial support of its donors.
"Thirty-six years ago, Linda and I were attending an orientation presentation at Santa Clara University. The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Joe Subbiando, said something that hit me like a rubber mallet on the forehead! ‘We’ve even considered starting a center for ethics here at SCU!’ For years I had thought that ethics had taken a back seat in Silicon Valley decision making. Not that people were unethical…it just seemed to me that ethics was not on their radar screen most of the time. So, when the presentation was over I let the dean know we might have an interest in supporting an ethics center on campus.
Linda and I discussed it and decided that we should offer to fund such a program. Most importantly, we wanted the results of the center to be useful in everyday life so we suggested a center focused on interdisciplinary applied ethics. Linda and I are very proud of what the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics has accomplished.”Mike and Linda Markkula
“We all need a reminder that we need to do the right thing, to remind ourselves of the moral compass that guides our decisions. Sometimes, we need help resolving a tough choice, even if the right decision is painful. The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics helps us choose what’s right.”
Craig Newmark
“We value the Ethics Center’s mission: the continuous effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly based.
In these times of struggle with complex issues, Dan and I welcome and support the Ethics Center’s efforts to facilitate difficult conversations that will bring about a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world.”
