Reflecting on 2012

This past year the Honor Board continued successfully hosting several events while promoting integrity on campus. The student body elected several new members to the Honor Board this year! Our current General Body has twenty-two exceptional members:

In December, we held our Donut Cheat event before the last week of classes (Thanks Sandy!). We handed out donuts, hot chocolate, and coffee in the library while reminding students not to succumb to cheating during these tumultuous finals.

We held our second Week of Honor this past year. SGA, SFA, and Honor Board held a Meet and Greet with staff and students to kick it off this September. In addition,  we hosted a dinner where Honor Board demonstrated two mock Honor System investigations and hearings.  Lastly, we held our trivia night and learned about Stevens history. 

In the Spring, the Honor Board continued its educational endeavors in the history realm and held its first Behind the Books event. S.C. Williams library graciously helped us display artifacts owned by Stevens. There were several impressive collections including some Stevens Family memorabilia, books written by Leonardo da Vinci, and various items of historical significance donated to Stevens. This February, the Honor Board will be holding this event again with some new objects on display, so be sure to stop by!

Lastly, Spring elections are coming up and there are several open seats including for the freshman class. Stay tuned!

Welcome New Members

Thank you to everyone who voted in last week's election!  It is with pride that we welcome 7 new members to the Stevens Honor Board!

Eric Noll is the newest Junior class representative.  The Sophomore class is adding RJ Polunin and Rachel Staigar.  The four Freshmen class representatives are Shane Arlington, Danielle Fischer, Joe LoRicco, and Kristen Romanowski.  Our new representatives will be going through training this weekend and will officially begin to serve their classes next week!

More information on all of the current Honor Board members may be found at www.stevens.edu/honor/membership.shtml.

Welcome everyone and we are excited to see what great things you accomplish with the Honor Board!

A Successful Start to the 2011 Year!

It's been a very busy month for the Honor Board as we welcomed the new freshmen onto campus and welcomed back the upperclassmen!

First, during Freshmen Orientation, we had one of our most successful Honor System presentations yet.  The Honor System Orientation video may be watched at this link: http://vimeo.com/27856468.  Thank you to all our Honor Board members, Orientation Leaders, and administrative advisors who contributed to make that a success!

The second week of school was the Week of Honor.  On Tuesday, September 6th, we held an Honor Board and SGA meet and greet where students could come meet their student government representatives.  President Farvardin came, and all the students really enjoyed having the chance to meet and speak with him.  On September 7th, we hosted a dinner where Honor Board and Off Center members demonstrated a mock Honor System investigation and hearing.  Finally, on September 8th, we hosted a Stevens Trivia Night and everyone learned something new about our school!

September 7th was also an important day for us, because that was when the new Freshmen class officially became Stevens students and were inducted into the Honor System.  We welcome the new freshmen and know that they will be strong supporters of the Honor System and preserve the system for years to come!

Yesterday was the campus wide club fair.  Many students stopped by the Honor Board table and learned about getting involved with the Honor System.  We handed out rolls of toilet paper to remind students to "Wipe out Cheating," "Flush away Academic Dishonesty," and "Roll out Integrity!"

Finally, we are now accepting applications for new members!  We have open spots for all classes, and the applications are due Monday, September 19th.  The forms may be found on our website.  General elections will be held 9/26 through 10/2 and we are all very excited to bring on our new members!

Thanks again to everyone who helped us kick off the fall semester and we hope to see you again at future Honor Board events!

Donut Cheat!

The Donut Cheat Event took place on May 5th 2011!  It was a Huge Success!!



The night before the first Spring semester finals began, a few hundred students left their books to swamp the Honor Board's display in the library.  After signing the pledge, everyone grabbed donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate offered as a pick me up to keep students studying and of course to "donut cheat" during finals. 


Thanks to everyone for coming out and watch out for future Donut Cheat events!
