Moral Foundations: Standing Firm in a World of Shifting Values

Coming Mid-February! 

Press Release:

RSC releases book containing proceedings from “The Gospel: The Foundation for a Professional Career” Symposium

“Integrity is a matter of behavior, sound thinking, and an attitude that honesty is essential to good business and engineering practices. Adherence to a code of professional integrity has its foundations in the doctrines of the Restoration, particularly the knowledge that we are all sons and daughters of God and face eventual accountability for our words, works, and thoughts (see Alma 12:14). Church membership compels Latter-day Saints to be trustworthy and immune from political, financial, or personal corruption in a world where such traits are fast losing ground to economic expediency and personal greed.”

                —From the Introduction

This volume contains the presentations from “The Gospel: The Foundation for a Professional Career” symposium held in March 2007. It was cosponsored by Religious Education and the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology. Featuring speakers such as Elder Richard G. Scott, Firoz King Husein, and Daniel K Judd, the symposium focused on teaching how important it is for graduates of BYU to live the highest standards of morality and integrity. It served as an opportunity to make principles taught by the Latter-day Saint faith find practical application in the lives of graduates.
