How to Get Involved
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to get involved with the Office of Student Conduct as Student Conduct Board members.

Members comprehensively adjudicate cases by hearing testimony, reviewing evidence and issuing a recommendation of responsibility and outcome when appropriate. Board members can create their own schedule and serve as often as their availability permits. This position is invaluable and helps to uphold the mission of the University. We look forward to your involvement!

In handling the most delicate of situations, the Office of Student Conduct staff show the utmost professionalism and grace. Due to the importance of the work done by the OSC office, I feel a sense of duty when asked to serve as a board member. Whether it requires them to diligently comb through mountains of documents or to advise board members in a hearing.

I know the transition to adulthood is difficult, and it is important to me that I help ensure our campus conduct process is as thorough, thoughtful, and supportive as it can be for those who participate in it.
