Ethics Scholar Internship

The Better Business Bureau’s Ethics Scholar Internship Program is designed to provide students with an in-depth look at trust and ethics in business. Students selected for the Ethics Scholar Internship will work with businesses and/or nonprofits that have been nominated for the elite BBB Torch Award for Ethics. The Ethics Scholars will research the nominated organizations and work collaboratively with the executive teams, employees and customers of local businesses to prepare both a written and verbal analysis as to how the business achieves BBB’s TRUST! Principles.

BBB Ethics Scholars will also have the opportunity to be paired with business mentors in their field of study and upon successful completion of the internship, will be promoted as potential employees to our more than 4,000 BBB Accredited Businesses in Northern Colorado and Wyoming. BBB Ethics Scholars will gain experience and further develop as an ethical leader while sharpening their critical thinking, writing, interviewing, and presentation skills.

Greetings! My name is Grant Burkett. I am a Colorado native and hail from Highlands Ranch, CO now living in Fort Collins as a Senior at CSU studying Communications and Business Administration. I enjoy laughing and socializing with my friends and family and have a deep interest in all things baseball.

Ronnie Delgado
Ronnie Delgado - Colorado State University

Hello! My name is Ronnie Delgado, and I am a senior at Colorado State University. I am majoring in economics with a minor in statistics. My studies focus on the quantitative side of economics, and I am interested in gauging issues from a macroeconomic perspective. Before becoming an economics major I was interested in a business major and took a course in Ethics in Contemporary Organizations which has influenced my economic studies as I learn and evaluate how the ethics of organizations can affect and influence the communities in which they reside. I am passionate about learning new things and though the concept of business ethics isn’t foreign to me, I’m looking forward to my internship with BBB to learn more about how the ethics of business and nonprofits are involved in every step of how an organization functions.

Andrew Hajek
Andrew Hajek - Colorado State University

I am a Denver native and have lived here all my life. I decided to attend Colorado State University to pursue a Finance and Real Estate degree and as a Junior have joined various Real Estate and Finance clubs to put myself in front of finance specialists and guest speakers to network and gain more knowledge. My dream is to become a Chief Financial Officer; preferably for a company that exemplifies workplace  ethical standards focusing on  honesty, integrity, and excellence. Although I am a business major, I seek new opportunities to test my capabilities. I have a passion for electronics, exercising, hiking, enjoying the environment, and building connections with people. 

Camille Hawley
Camille Hawley - University of Wyoming

Born and raised in Southern California, I moved to Wyoming three years ago for the opportunity to play for the UW Women’s Soccer team. I am a senior majoring in Marketing and Human Resource Management with a minor in Leadership. Before my internship with the BBB, I worked as an intern for the Office of Academic Support for Wyoming Athletics as a Student-Athlete Mentor and Lead of Digital Media. As part of my Leadership minor capstone, I was privileged to lead “Family Promise of Albany County,” a non-profit organization, through BBB’s Charity Evaluation Process. This project was very fulfilling, to say the least, and is where my passion for ethics in the workplace grew and led me to this fantastic opportunity.

Cindy Vo
Cindy Vo - Colorado State University

Hello! I am Cindy Vo, and I am an Economics and Global Studies student at Colorado State University. I was drawn to the economics program at CSU because it offered unique heterodox courses that cover contemporary issues that affect the communities I am from. I am very interested in learning and better understanding the impacts of inequality, banking and international affairs as I pursue my degree. Outside of school, I enjoy journaling, which I have been doing since elementary school, and I enjoy self-reflection and goal-setting as I continually strive to better myself and the world around me.
