Interested in getting involved and sharing feedback with the Honor Committee? There are multiple venues for providing feedback to the Honor Committee:
- Join the Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC): The Faculty Advisory Committee serves as a liason between the faculty and the Committee. FAC is chaired by an elected Committee Representative and is made up of faculty members from across the University. If you are interested in joining FAC, please contact Hamza, Honor Committee Chair, at ha8dr@virginia.edu
- Attend an open Honor Committee meeting on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. in the Newcomb Hall Trial Room (Room 480). The Committee holds regular weekly meetings during the fall and spring academic semesters and welcomes thoughts, feedback, concerns, and questions posed by all community members. If you are unable to attend, the Committee posts meeting minutes after each week’s meeting.
