Honor Convocation and Mock Honor Code Trial

Hampden-Sydney College - VA, Virginia

During their first night on campus, Hampden-Sydney’s president addresses new students in an Honor Convocation. Immediately following the Honor Convocation, the ten student members of the peer-elected Student Court lead small groups in discussion of the precepts of the Honor Code and the mechanics of the system. Every new student is required to sign a statment committing to living under the honor code. The student court has full authority to suspend or expel a student from the college for violating the code. New students are required to attend a mock honor code trial to learn more abut the honor code and to inform them of court procedures.

It takes great courage to take on challenges when everything tells you things are hopeless or you don't have all the answers at the ready. Minnesota Campus Compact embraces the leadership role in these tough times. That's heroic in my book."
