CCC recognised as an Honorary Companion of Ethos Universitas

This week, Ethos Universitas has recognised Capital City College (CCC) for ethical leadership in academia, and has bestowed Honorary Companionship status on the College.

Ethos Universitas is an international initiative that recognizes universities and higher education institutions committed to ethics, integrity, and responsibility as core academic values. It the global initiative of the University Platform PCU Committee of Panathlon International, the association recognised by the International Olympic Committee.

With nearly 150 academic institutions in more than 30 countries, the initiative highlights academic institutions that act as ethical beacons, shaping new generations not only through knowledge, but also through fairness, inclusion, and responsibility.

CCC has been acknowledged by the Ethos Universitas as an Honorary Companion, and will receive an official Ethos Universitas Seal and Certificate, symbolising ethical leadership in academia. CCC will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Ethos Universitas Awarding Summit, held during the week of United Nations Day (October 24), to join other organisations in sharing achievements, exchanging best practices, and celebrating leadership in education.

Being recognised as an Honorary Companion of Ethos Universitas affirms an institution’s dedication to ethical leadership in education and connects it to a global community of academic leaders. This network brings together vice-chancellors, academic executives, international officers, and institutional representatives who collaborate to strengthen ethical standards in further and higher education around the world.

Prof. Dr. Em. Francis Van Loon, Baron, Honorary Rector of the University of Antwerp, Initiator and President of Ethos Universitas, said: “Higher education institutions must be more than centres of knowledge; they must serve as ethical beacons, guiding new generations with integrity, fairness, and responsibility.

“Ethos Universitas affirms this mission and unites institutions worldwide in their commitment to academic values. We are therefore proud and honoured to welcome Capital City College as part of Ethos Universitas.”

Angela Joyce, Chief Executive of CCC, said: “We are delighted to receive this honour, and are proud to be part of this initiative. The link to the International Olympic Committee promoted values of excellence, friendship and respect align greatly with our ethos and ambition. By joining this esteemed international network, we hope to connect with fellow leaders in academia and broaden our standards of best practice in further education.”
