UNL’s second annual Academic Integrity Week begins Sept. 9. Presentations during the week are designed to reinforce the need for academic integrity, from student coursework to faculty research.
Academic integrity is foundational to the university’s goals. The campus community relies on the belief that faculty, staff and students can trust that work being done is honest and contributes to the larger project of building knowledge.
Academic Integrity Week presentation topics range from discussions about ethical actions to how to manage your sources and produce research with integrity. Sessions run from Sept. 9-13; all are free and open to faculty, staff and students. All events are in the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center unless otherwise noted.
