?? Student Highlight: Bailee Tayles – Distinguished Ethics Scholar ?? We’re excited to spotlight Bailee Tayles, a third-year Honors English major and Political Theory minor from Scottsdale, Arizona, as part of Clemson University's Distinguished Ethics Scholars Program! ?? The Distinguished Ethics Scholars Program recognizes students who are passionate about ethics, ethical leadership, and decision-making. Through this program, students like Bailee earn prestigious scholar designations that enhance their regalia at graduation and receive a co-curricular ethics certificate – providing a unique competitive edge in the professional world. ??? Bailee’s accomplishments extend beyond the classroom. She’s a Lyceum Scholar at the Snow Institute for the Study of Capitalism, a Dixon Global Policy Scholar, and serves as President of Clemson University Zeta Tau Alpha. She’s also an active member of the Clemson Undergraduate Student Government Judicial Board and is campaigning for Undergraduate Student Body Vice President. ?? As a Distinguished Ethics Scholar, Bailee is making a profound impact through her involvement in the CHANGE organization, representing the Clemson University College of Arts and Humanities, and organizing EmpowerHER Week. This event, in collaboration with the Rutland Institute for Ethics, promotes female empowerment through ethical programming (and begins this Monday, 2/17!). ?? Bailee’s commitment to public service, leadership, and ethics is truly inspiring. We’re proud to have her as part of our Clemson community and can’t wait to see the incredible work she will continue to do! ??
