  • When Cheating Rears Its Ugly Head: How to Talk with Students about Honor Code Violations

    What should we do when we strongly suspect a student of having broken the honor code? What are the best practices for approaching students in such cases? How can we build trust and a spirit of academic integrity, especially when generative A.I. now makes cheating so easy and so tempting? Join us for a discussion organized by the Academic Integrity Committee with faculty and students who have been through the judicial process and come out the other side intact.

    Open to all faculty. Register here.

  • Shape Note Singing

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.
