Seminar and Workshop Information

Workshops

The Office of Judicial Affairs strives to develop a sense of responsibility and accountability in our students. We have developed several workshops which help meet that goal. These workshops can be done in classes or for groups upon request. Please contact our office for more information or to schedule a presentation.

Academic Honesty (50 minutes)

This session is designed to inform students about the academic expectations that the College has of its community members. Students will learn the Standards for Academic Conduct and the judicial process and consequences for academic misconduct. Additionally, students will engage in a discussion about what consitutes academic dishonesty and the ethical gray area around conduct.

Ethics (50 minutes) 

This session is designed to engage students in a conversation about their ethics versus community standards. Students will discuss how they make choices involving ethics and how they can hold each other accountable in the college setting.
