Hatfield Business Ethics Funding

Hatfield funding for the Study of Ethics in Business and Organizations was set up in honor of Robert S. Hatfield '37, who was a loyal and generous Cornellian and prominent business leader. The Chairman and CEO of the Continental Group, he believed strongly in the need to promote ethical business practices in both large and small organizations. This funding is designed to honor this legacy and to assist in the research and study of ethics in business and organizations.


Through the generosity of friends of Robert S. Hatfield, the Program on Ethics and Public Life is able to grant annual funding in his honor to Cornell undergraduate and graduate students.
