The David W. Wilson Chair is the university's first-ever joint endowed chair, bringing together the colleges of Business Administration and Humanities and Fine Arts. The Chair was established through a gift from university alumnus and Laguna Beach, California resident, David W. Wilson, president and owner of one of the largest privately owned automotive groups in the country. Wilson graduated from UNI in 1970 with a B.A. in Philosophy. His gift helps make ethics a focus of teaching and research at UNI and helps students recognize the value of ethics as a guide to decision-making in life and business.

Donna J. Wood, a leading business and society scholar, was named the first holder of the David W. Wilson Chair of Business Ethics at the University of Northern Iowa. She began her UNI career in 2002. She is a gifted scholar who was instrumental in bringing recognition and respect to the study of business ethics, and she has built an international reputation in her discipline.
