I designed and continue to facilitate Honor's Restorative Ethics Seminar, a community-based sanction in the new multi-sanction system. In consultation with JMU's Office of Restorative Practices, Naval Academy Students, the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, and experts and community members on Grounds, I worked to write the syllabus of the restorative ethics seminar over the summer. In facilitating the seminar, I have had sincere conversations about Honor with the individuals most impacted by the case process, listening to moving stories about the real weight both of Honor's sanctions and the community that Honor protects. 

Over the summer, I incorporated XYZ Case Studies, an idea brought to the Honor Committee from the Naval Academy by Representative MK O'Boyle, into the seminar as its final project. In each XYZ Case Study, a student draws on their experience in the case process, personal reflections, and conversations throughout the seminar to produce an anonymized account of their case and the lessons the community can learn from their experience. The cases increase transparency and act as opportunities for the students' voices to be heard as they finish the Honor process. In the lessons learned section, the students demonstrate that restoration, at its best, gives students opportunities to positively give back to our community. 

As the Senior Educator of the Honor Committee, I lead Honor outreach initiatives to students and faculty, from regular tabling and surveying to university-wide events like the first International Student Days and Honor Week. For Honor Week, I was one of the four leaders of the Popular Assembly planning group that worked with CIOs and SSOs across Grounds, the Alumni Association, President Jim Ryan's office, the UVA Library, the Karsh Institute of Democracy, the Vice Provost for the Arts, and many others to successfully educate and receive feedback from the Community. I will ensure that Honor acts on the voices of the student into the next term. 

In November, Hamza Aziz and I ran the first International Student Days in collaboration with International Students and Scholars Program (ISSP), the Center for American English Language and Culture (CAELC), the International Center, and international student CIO's from across Grounds. We successfully engaged with and heard from many international student perspectives, helping us rethink our Honor module and our approach to international student outreach. 

Through the 2023-2024 term, I have worked as an active member of Honor's Policies and Procedures Subcommittee (P&P). In the summer, the subcommittee was tasked with writing the Bylaws for Honor's multi-sanction era, and I fought to ensure that the Bylaws maintained philosophical consistency with the lofty ideals set out in the new Constitution. While the entire subcommittee reviewed and contributed to all of the Bylaws, I particularly helped to shape the completely new sanctioning section, crafting definitions for Honor's four broad categories of sanctions. Our job was not finished in June, and we have had to adjust the Bylaws as they have started to be implemented. For example, drawing on my thorough knowledge of the practical and philosophical details of the case process, I rewrote the role of the Counsel for the Community at Panel for Sanctions to better align with the language and goals of the Constitution. 

Over the summer, I worked with the Sanctioning Guidelines Committee, and then the Policies and Procedures Committee to write a document for panelists to use when deliberating at a Panel for Sanction. The goal of the guidelines was to ensure philosophical consistency with the ideals and language of the new Constitution while recognizing the unique circumstances of each Honor Offense. With input from the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, we designed a set of questions that would best guide the panelist's conversation and thinking about aggravating and mitigating factors, and the student's ability to recommit to the Community of Trust. UVA students, in the new Constitution, did not want sanctioning to be purely based on the severity of each sanction or the severity of the offense, so we developed four criteria for sanctioning: sanctions should be restorative, educational, forward-looking, and proportional. As we heard feedback from panelists, we adjusted the sanctioning guidelines to better aid their decision making process. 

Through this term, I have worked as a member of Honor's Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC). In meetings with UVA faculty and administration, we have represented student perspectives and made progress on important issues, including generative artificial intelligence. Faculty are some of the community members who have the most at stake in Honor, and the trust they put in their students can be directly harmed by acts of cheating. On top of educating faculty about the multi-sanction system, I worked to standardize Honor and AI syllabus statements across the different UVA schools. As the Honor faculty liaison to the Darden School of Business, I worked with the Darden Honor representatives to craft faculty outreach on AI and the new system that would be effective for the unique challenges of Darden.
