Serving on University’s Student Conduct Board Fosters Growth as a Leader

Being part of the University’s Student Conduct Board for the past two years has shown me how important it is to be a leader within the University community. The faculty and members on the board work hard to create a very positive environment.

My involvement pushes me to not only be a great board member, but to also be a better student leader on campus. The experience has enhanced my communication skills, and it has taught me how to deal with new or difficult situations.

I had the opportunity to participate in Leadership Day on campus, which was not only educational and helpful, but it was also an enjoyable experience that I was able to share with other students. I brought what I learned from that experience to the board, which was extremely useful for me and the students we interact with.

As a board member, we train each year, enabling us to remain up-to-date on procedure and policy and to get ready for upcoming semesters. One of my favorite aspects of the SCB is that everyone is diverse, but we all come together to work toward a common goal.

I believe it’s important that all students on campus know that the members of the board have one goal: to work to better the campus community, and to ensure the campus is a great environment to learn and a welcoming place to live.

We want students to feel comfortable and to understand that the Student Conduct Board is a learning experience. We work to resolve issues in a way that is appropriate, professional, and educational.

I encourage all students to try something new or to join an organization that enhances their potential – not only as a student, but as a leader.
