We are already an internationally-recognized center for research on issues related to business ethics. This position provides us the opportunity to not only continue those efforts, but to extend them to our doctoral program and beyond,†said Ambrose.

“As a result, we will not only continue our reputation as ‘the place to be’ for serious business ethics research. We will also become known as the source for business ethics scholars of tomorrow. I can’t tell you how proud I am to be a part of that!â€

Ambrose has been a faculty member since 1999. Prior to joining UCF, she served on the faculty at the º£½ÇÖ±²¥ of Iowa and was director of research for the º£½ÇÖ±²¥ of Colorado at Boulder College of Business.

Additionally, she is a member of the Academy of Management ethics education committee.
