New Curriculum Taught By Volunteers Will Reach

More Than 100,000 Local Students

What:       Junior Achievement and Deloitte & Touche will pilot a
            first-of-its-kind business ethics curriculum, entitled
            "Excellence through Ethics," which will provide Chicago
            students in grades 4-12 with lessons on ethical
            decision-making, business ethics vs. personal ethics, and
            how to face difficult decisions with honor. Through
            participation in the pilot, students and business
            volunteers will have the unique opportunity to influence
            the content of the curriculum by testing it and providing
            feedback. This information will be incorporated into the
            final product, which is scheduled for rollout in Fall
            2003. The final curriculum will be taught by volunteers
            from both Deloitte & Touche and Junior Achievement and is
            expected to reach over 100,000 local students and more
            than three million students nationally.

            Media are invited to visit the Walt Disney Magnet School
            to witness the implementation of this curriculum in a
            classroom setting.

Who:        Students and teachers from the Walt Disney Magnet School
            Deloitte & Touche volunteers
            Junior Achievement representatives

Why:        Looking back at 2002 and the business ethics failures that
            affected our country, it is vital that as a society we
            rethink what and how our children are being taught and
            provide our young people with the tools and training they
            need to become ethical business leaders of tomorrow.

When:       Friday, May 30, 2003 from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m.

Where:      Walt Disney Magnet School, 4140 N. Marine Drive,
            Chicago, IL
