International students convene for International Orientation before the official First-Year Orientation begins, so as to have some additional time to adjust to the new surroundings and culture in the USA. Duke Honor Council will be hosting a break-out session during International Orientation in which academic and social integrity will be discussed in small group settings. The goal of this initiative is to encourage international students, who likely come from very different cultural backgrounds, to think critically about ethical issues and make informed decisions as they begin their life at Duke University.
On April 15th, Honor Council hosted its annual event, “Dessert for Thought,” in GA Down Under. Nine incredible panelists presented to a crowd of students eager to discuss ethical dilemmas at Duke and beyond. A huge thank you to our wonderful panelists: Mayor Bill Bell, William Wright-Swadel, Ph.D., Stephanie Helms Pickett, Ed.D., Li-Chen Chin, Ph.D., Robert Lefkowitz, M.D., Meredith Casper, Elaine Bushfan, J.S.C., Stephen Kelly, and Dan Ariely, Ph.D. (in order of panel from left to right). Also, thank you very much to all of the ladies and gents who attended! We hope you enjoyed the event!! Please check our Facebook page for event photos.
