The Aram Lecture is a keynote address given each year by a visiting lecturer invited by Gonzaga University's John L. Aram Professor of Business Ethics (currently held by Dr. Brian Steverson). The professorship was established in honor of John Aram, a Gonzaga trustee and benefactor. The goal is to give students greater awareness of the ethical dilemmas faced by decision makers in business and government.
