Form 990, Part III, Line 4d In 2022, The Hastings Center launched the Summer Bioethics Program, a weeklong online learning opportunity for undergraduates from racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups underrepresented in bioethics. The goals of this program are to increase diversity within the rising generation of students interested in bioethics and engage the elected Hastings Center Fellows in this important work. Like the Sadler Scholars initiative for doctoral students, which was launched in 2021, the Summer Bioethics Program also reflects technological innovation within the Hastings Center's Visiting Scholar Program, which prior to the pandemic was a residential opportunity for students and scholars. Shifting these opportunities online has significantly increased the diversity of our application pools, created equity for those unable to travel to The Hastings Center, and supported inclusion through greater use of technology as a community-building tool. The Hastings Center continues to offer a more limited residential program, and also offers an online/hybrid invited series of work in progress sessions. Our visiting scholar exchange with the Chinese University of Hong Kong was on pause in 2022 due to pandemic travel restrictions, with plans for restarting this program in 2023-24.
