The ETHOS Fellows Program is a 6-session certificate program that:
- Introduces faculty, staff, and students to the values underlying Ohio State's Shared Values Initiative

Participants must commit to advancing values-based efforts in their colleges, departments, or other units, by hosting discussions, events, or other projects. Completion of the program will result in a $500 project fund, consultation from CEHV to initiate efforts, and ongoing collaboration among fellows facilitated by CEHV.
