Know a resident who would be a great rep for conversations about the conduct process? We’re recruiting for a student representative to sit on the Student Conduct Committee. A branch of the Senate Residence Committee, this group is tasked with reviewing, updating, and recommending changes to the residence conduct process. The committee includes representation from the Residence Conduct Office, the NAM process, Office of the Ombudsman, Residence Life, ResSoc, and the Chair of the Senate Residence Committee. We need a student to balance it all out. It needs to be a student at large – they can’t be someone already involved in Residence. Please send names and email addresses to Nicky via email. Thanks! Conduct Corner is a reoccurring feature. Please send your comments and questions to nicky.renault@queensu.ca This is your space to get some of the answers and clarifications you might need.

ON-GOING TRAINING WHY? On-Going Training (OGT) is an opportunity for Dons to continue to develop professionally and personally. HOW? Review the OGT schedule attached to this week's BTB email and sign up for sessions by emailing molly.raffan@queesu.ca. If you find something on campus that you feel is applicable to your role as a Don, please email Molly to see if it could count as a credit. WHEN? When and what sessions you choose from the schedule to attend are entirely up to you. *You are required to complete 4 OGT credits by March 11, 2017* ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS? We will have alternative options lists that apply to our three pillars released by next Friday for you to choose from. (examples are: TedTALKs, article read & respond, etc..) if you choose not to attend the scheduled sessions. QUESTIONS? Email Molly!
