Integrating Virtue Together is a Virtues & Vocations initiative where faculty from across institutions and disciplines join a community of practice in integrating moral virtues into a course they teach. These syllabi are from courses taught by IVT participants at colleges and universities across the country. We provide these examples to inspire other faculty who want to cultivate character through their courses.
