The Samaritan Counseling Center of Albuquerque presented UNM’s ASM a gift of $9,042 on Wednesday, Sept. 20, at a meeting of the Anderson Foundation Board. The funds, which will be used to support Anderson ethics education programs, was given in appreciation of the Anderson partnership in the Samaritan Counseling Center’s New Mexico Ethics in Business Awards program, and for furthering ethical business practices in New Mexico.
The partnership between Samaritan and Anderson has been beneficial to both entities. Samaritan executive director Paul Hopkins stated, “It is a privilege for the Samaritan Counseling Center to be partners with the school, and we are grateful for the leadership that the people on the Anderson Foundation Board provide to our community.”
According to John Ackerman, Anderson Rust Professor of Business Ethics, the funds from Samaritan will be used to send Anderson students to compete in the International Ethics Case Study Competition at the University of Arizona.
