The Academic Honor Council has been busy this semester increasing the Holt School community's awareness of the Honor code.
E-mails, presentations, articles, flyers, classroom visits, and table events have been used in the ongoing effort to educate students and faculty members about the Academic Honor Code.
Most recently, the council celebrated Halloween week by distributing bags of treats to evening classes the week of October 30.
Since the beginning of this semester, the council has been conducting adjunct faculty training sessions, educating about 40 faculty members on the code so far. The main goal of the Academic Honor Council is to educate the Holt community.
The council's education process is not limited to students and faculty, though. Lori Roth, Chair of the council, recently attended an international conference hosted by the Center for Academic Integrity in Denver, CO.
The conference brought together members of honor councils from around the world to discuss honor code implementation, enforcement, and education.
During the three-day conference, Lori had the opportunity to talk to students from across the country as well as hear from distinguished speakers representing West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, University of Maryland, University of Colorado, and representatives from Canadian universities.
We strongly believe that understanding the code is the best way to live by it. And, though we are well prepared and fully able to handle any violation that may occur, it is our goal to continually focus on education, sanctioning when clear, specific violations make it necessary.
As we continue to grow and share in knowledge of the code, we will become increasingly empowered as individuals and as a community to move toward our respective educational goals with a better understanding of academic integrity and its implications.
