ABOUT THE INTEGRITY 1ST SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

WALKING THE TALK...

A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE SCHOLARSHIP'S ORIGIN AND PURPOSE
FROM RANDE SOMMA


"As a way to "give back" and promote my passion for the importance and value of integrity, my wife and I partnered with my alma mater Robert Morris University to establish the Integrity First Scholarship Program.
The program was initially launched in 2008 (this past July we celebrated the 12th annual event). 
Each year students are presented with a case study, which provides some questionable ethical and/or moral circumstances. Students who enter the annual scholarship contest are presented with a series of questions regarding the case. In response, they submit essays establishing how they would address the dilemma. 

In 2019 over 70 essays were submitted. The Business School faculty selected the best 12. After evaluation of the 12, my wife and I selected the five scholarship recipients. This year, 2020, five students were selected to be scholarship recipients.

Since its inception my wife and I have donated $400,000.00 to the Integrity First Program and have awarded scholarships to over 50 Business School students."

Effective leadership builds strong businesses, which enriches our economy and provides stability as a nation. Leadership that starts with integrity and accountability. Leadership that dares to tackle the tough issues, and that puts people before profits. However, far too often, excellence, courage and honor takes a back seat to "bottom line" objectives, corporate greed and keeping the status quo. A paradigm shift is definitely needed. Accordingly the goal of "Leadersh*t" is to expose the "B.S." behind leadership in corporate America and explore viable ways to fix a broken system.  This in an effort to elevate our collective consciousness and perhaps cultivate better future leaders.   Image credit: Pixabay.com
