Carnegie Council Announces New Global Ethics Fellows

NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is pleased to welcome the newest class of Global Ethics Fellows.   

Global Ethics Fellows lie at the heart of Carnegie Council's Global Ethics Network (www.globalethicsnetwork.org/), a platform for educational institutions around the world to create and share interactive multimedia resources.
