Same Vision in a New Year

Welcome back to the students, faculty, and staff of Clemson University and welcome back to other readers of this blog. As we begin another semester in academia, I thought it would be beneficial to reiterate our vision for the Office of Community and Ethical Standards. As a part of the Division of Student Affairs, we are committed to the educational missions of Student Affairs and Clemson University. We see our office as an important component of student development and we will continue to help students become successful members of the Clemson community and prepare them for a lifetime role of global citizenship.

We will continue to promote the Core Values on campus as we see this as the vehicle to lead all students to appropriate community interactions. We will also continue to support students and student organizations in their endeavors who are serving as role models of the Clemson Core Values to other students. Our office will continue to provide more educational programming to prevent students from having to be exposed to the student discipline process. The end result is that students who interact with our office will have a stronger sense of community, and we will reduce the number of students having to participate in a discipline hearing and/or conference.

We cannot do this alone and we appreciate the faculty, staff, and students who help us in our education efforts. However, we do need more help, if we are to achieve these goals. If you are passionate about making an impact, or have a desire to help others but don't know how to get started; give me a call and I can help you get plugged into what we are doing. Thank you for a wonderful 2008. Here's to 2009!

Sincerely,
