The Appomattox Project
Engaging Ethics in Public Life
The Appomattox Project is a multi-year effort designed to focus on the ethical dimensions
of democratic societies, civil discourse, public policy, and the sustainability of
shared institutions. The project includes a variety of activities including workshops,
public lectures, student research projects, panel discussions, and community engagement. As the site where the American Civil War ended, the Appomattox Court House has become
a symbol of reconciliation and civil discourse. Likewise, the Appomattox Project aims
to engage critical issues in our public life and to explore how ethical principles
and practices shape civil society.
The project is administered by UVU's Center for the Study of Ethics in collaboration
with campus and community partners.
