My conduct philosophy focuses on providing students with creatively crafted opportunities to learn and grow from their decision-making after an incident. I believe all students have the right to a fair and unbiased approach to the disciplinary process and I make sure this is provided every step of the way.  I also strive to ensure that students have a voice, regardless of what they say, and that the process enables and empowers them to use it. At the end of the day, my goal is to guide students to better decision-making by having them come to that conclusion through insight and reflection, rather than lecturing them on what is wrong or right.
