We hope you are having a good end to Block 4!
Do you care about equity, justice, and free food? Then look no further than the Honor Council! The council is a student-run organization dedicated to incorporating a student perspective into academic dishonesty issues. We act as a mediating body between students and faculty in hopes to achieve equitable and consistent responses to instances of academic dishonesty across cases regardless of professor or department.
The Honor Council meets once a week on Wednesdays (except for 4th Wednesday) from 12:15-1 p.m. We also provide a FREE catered lunch at every meeting from places such as Noodles and Co., Wingstop, and Einsteins! Besides free food, serving on the Honor Council provides valuable experience for whatever might come next for you after CC. And, you will have the opportunity to connect with peers and faculty to ensure that academic dishonesty is handled equitably.
