Major League Baseball Commissioner Allan H. “Bud” Selig will give the keynote address for Ethics Week to Wisconsin School of Business students and faculty Tuesday, focusing on ethics and professionalism in the business world.
The 1956 UW-Madison alumnus has served as the MLB Commissioner since 1988 and will discuss his efforts to build ethical principles within the Milwaukee Brewers organization and MLB’s headquarters.
Additionally, Selig will offer career advice to business students and address questions in an open question-and-answer session following his speech.
Selig instated the Allan H. Selig chair in History at the university two years ago, and created a History of Sports professor to focus on the study of sports history in a broader social and historical context and its impacts on social change.
Selig’s speech, “Perspectives on Ethical Leadership—A View from the Commissioner” will be held from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. in the Plenary Room in Grainger Hall.
Ethics Week is sponsored by the Howard Carver Ethics and Professionalism Program at the Wisconsin School of Business.
