The Holloran Center had an exceptional fifth year in addressing the most compelling ethical issue facing education in the professions and business: How can higher education most effectively foster the ethical professional formation and ethical leadership of each student and practicing professional?  The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, based on multi-year empirical studies of higher education for clergy, lawyers, engineers, nurses, and physicians, finds that, "In every field we studied, we concluded that the most overlooked aspect of professional preparation was the formation of a professional identity with a moral core of service and responsibility around which the habits of mind and practice could be organized" (Carnegie 2010).  The Center's interdisciplinary research, and program and curriculum development focus on helping the next generation to form professional identities with a moral core of service and responsibility.

The Holloran Center has learned of bank robbery charges being filed yesterday against Mark Wetsch. The Center, through its Fellow Hank Shea, permanently severed any relationship with Mark Wetsch in early July 2010 when Hank Shea learned of previously unknown wrongful behavior by Mark Wetsch involving his restitution obligations connected with his 2005 fraud conviction, a case that had been prosecuted by Mr. Shea when he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
