The Honor Code

Honor is where the rubber hits the road.  If an individual does not have honor then ultimately they have nothing.  It is very important to me as a faculty member to be in a university that upholds the value of honor and integrity.  Freshmen get a feel for its importance as they take part in [...]

CNU Promoting an Honor of Culture

I think CNU is doing a great job of promoting a culture that supports honor in every form–both inside the classroom and outside of the classroom.  The plaques on the wall with the golden verse of the CNU Honor Code is a gentle reminder to all who enter about the “promise” or oath that each [...]

Integrity

As a 2006 alumni, I am very proud CNU established a stringent honor policy.  If the individuals that made bad judgements at financial instituions had paid attention to ethics and morals, the nation would not be in this dire bail out situation.

The CNU Honor Code: An Alumni Perspective

The CNU Honor Code was my first experience with any type of honor code. I think the school definitely relayed the importance of it to me so that it was always in the back of my mind. I think it is a good tool to use to prepare current students for real world experience!

A Community of Honor

I think CNU community is not perfect  in terms of honor; but certainly is not that bad either. I would guess that we would rank quite high among other colleges across the nation.

@ CNU, a community of honor & integrity=

…students, faculty, and staff abiding by a set of core values and beliefs, and endeavoring toward a common goal.   Together, much progress has been made at CNU.  Ultimately, however, achievement will be measured by the extent to which productive interaction between  the academic and professional communities-at-large is maximized.

Integrity At CNU

I feel that the efforts of the Honor Council to promote awareness of the honor code at the Business Luter School is very important as both faculty and students are more careful and critical of their actions and the actions of others regarding awareness and enforcement of the honor code at CNU.

THe Honor Code

For the past four years, the honor code of CNU has been a big part of my education and my life. At the beginning, it was always something I thought about before, while and after doing my work. As my time passed at CNU I didn’t have to think about the code anymore. It just [...]

Your Actions Matter

I am an alumni and served for almost two years in the honor council. I was an executive board member and learned a lot from my experience within the LHC. I remember when I first joined the LHC. I joined because Professor Pringle needed a replacement officer and I was sort of thrown into the [...]

Honor – An Important part of the CNU community

Honor is an extremely important part of the CNU community. It is stressed from day one, and is made a part of everyday student life. As a freshman class, we made a promise at the convocation, and this was a very memorable event. Every class we go to starts off with part of the lecture [...]

Honor Code

I feel like the honor code is very important to our university and to any business, school, association, or really anything that deals with interactivity between beings.  CNU’s honor code, for example, promotes “honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility.”  These are three very essential traits that every moral student and human being should encompass.  The last part of [...]

Honor at CNU

I believe that here at CNU, our teachers emphasize the honor code to us on a daily basis, whether it be when you look at your syllabus for a certain deadline, or when you are about to take a test, and you must sign something before taking it. I think it is very important to [...]

CNU Honor Code

I believe the Honor Code at CNU is one of the characteristics of the school that makes it stand out from other schools.  The stress CNU faculty and staff place on the honor code makes everyday at CNU a more pleasant experience.  With the honor code in place, students can be confident that their work [...]

CNU’s Community of Honor

CNU often uses the phrase “Community of Honor” when describing the campus environment. I remember President Trible outlining his expectation of this when I was a freshman recruit to the school. The President said he expected that if a student saw a $20 bill on the ground that they would leave it there until the [...]

My Two Cents – CNU’s Honor Code

CNU’s honor code is only good in theory. Actually getting students and staff to comply to the honor code is strictly voluntary it seems. To tell someone not to lie, cheat or steal will only register with select people who already had those moral and ethical views in the first place. The practice [...]

Honor code

I think that the Christopher Newport University honor code is very beneficial to the students because it portrays the ethical standards of the professional business world. The honor code is basically stating that students should be ethical in their schooling by not cheating, plagurizing, etc., which will help us to learn the ethics of the [...]

Integrity

I think that the Honor Code is a valuable tool on CNU’s campus. However, I also feel that there is a divide among the school; those that take the honor code seriously and those who do not.  I belive that students should be required to take a course on the Honor Code and integrity as a [...]

Honor Code

Being a community of honor means a lot to me.  There are many schools that do not have an honor code.  I think that having one makes us much more responsible for our actions and an all around better community.  From the second that you set foot on campus, as a freshman or if you [...]

Honor Code at CNU

I believe that CNU does an amazing job instilling this value into the community.  From day one at our Freshman Induction Ceremony, the honor code is read to us and imprinted into our minds.  For every class that we take, it means another syllabus with the honor code written for us to read, as well [...]

What it means to be a community of honor

I think the honor code and being a school/community of honor is like asking yourself how you want your community to view you.  This is accomplished by having honest, hard-working students that do not get into trouble.  The community is benefited by your presence and input.  If you strive for excellence in these [...]
