Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
Scientists and teachers, business leaders and policy makers, and officers for the US Army. USM and its Army ROTC program prepare students to be innovators and leaders for the 21st century. We produce lieutenants for the active Army, the National Guard, and the US Army Reserves.

Warriors wanted, each with a breadth of perspective who:
- Demonstrate a capacity for excellence
- Confident they will be competent Army leaders because of the rigor of the program
- Committed to the Army for the duration and open-minded about further service

Philosophy & Religion Colloquium: Dr. Sam Bruton at Liberal Arts Building, Room 101
Research ethics, unlike other fields of applied ethics, often lacks a theoretical foundation. Researchers rarely apply established moral theories or justify the specific norms they use, such as transparency, data sharing and integrity. In this talk titled, "Constructivism and the Norms of Research Ethics," Dr. Sam Bruton will present a constructivist approach to research ethics, inspired by recent work in moral methodology by John Rawls and others. Bruton argues that the norms of scientific research should be those advocated by well-informed scientists aiming to advance their field. This perspective clarifies the unity, evolution and structure of these norms.
