  1. Graduate Honor System Seeking Faculty Panelists

Monday, October 2, 12:00-1:00 p.m., Zoom

Tuesday, October 24, 12:00-1:00 p.m., in GLC Room D; lunch provided

The Graduate Honor System relies on trained faculty and graduate students to review academic integrity violation cases. It takes a one-hour training to become a panelist, after which you can serve on preliminary review and review panels. Become a panelist to help review cases and actively contribute to the ongoing conversation about standards of academic integrity in graduate education. Please indicate your interest in attending either of the upcoming trainings by completing this short registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfm0Y93Xd-yaShDS-fc62wjuoAjDTVC47kbs8WHw2FYfh7jMQ/viewform.

The fall meeting schedule has been set for graduate program directors (GPDs). Meetings will take place via Zoom 1:30-2:30 on September 13, October 11, November 9 and December 13. The Graduate School hosts these meetings to disseminate timely information, provide a forum for the sharing of best practices, and seek input on current issues and strategic initiatives with the aim of supporting and strengthening graduate education through this community of practice.
